How to play hockey
Hockey is a stick and ball game with origins dating back thousands of years. It is traditionally played on grass, but more often these days it is played on synthetic surfaces. In hockey, two teams consisting eleven players each compete against each other. They use their 'hooked' sticks to hit, push, pass and dribble a small, hard, white, ball with to score. To score means pushing the ball into the opponent's goalpost. Goalpost is often a net tied to wooden cube. One side of the goalpost is open so that the ball can come in it. This has to be done by passing other team's goalkeeper, who protects the goal, and logically, tries to keep the ball out of goal post.
Player position in hockey
Players' position is very important aspect of the game. Every team must have a goalkeeper. The other ten players are referred as field players. They are dispersed over the field of game. The field players can be segregated into three general categories as attackers, defenders and midfielders. No player has an exclusively defined role except goalkeeper. The attackers are generally on attack while the defenders are generally on defense, and the midfielders do a bit of both. This is but a common sense that in hockey field players are not allowed to use their feet to control the ball. Only the goalkeeper is allowed to use stick, hands, feet or even a body to stop the ball to stop the ball entering the goal post.
