I am actually starting Field Hockey next school year. I was confused because I have actually never played the sport before, but it seems to be clinging in my head now that my friends sister plays.

[@NinhLyUK]

Cool, I'm glad this video helps you out! It's really easy actually and I'm sure you'll be good at it if you start playing!

[@_dajahwilliams]

Ninh Ly Thank You So Much💘

[@NinhLyUK]

Anytime Bro! :)

my daughter just made her school's freshman team. I know nothing about FH and this was a wonderful intro. Thanks so much for preparing it!

[@NinhLyUK]

Jeff Porro Thanks Jeff, I'm glad this video helped you out! Hockey is a fairly easy sport to understand and after watching a few of your daughter's games, you'll understand it even more. Be sure to share this video and subscribe :)

[@samhitap7873]

so concerned about your daughter issues. good dad

you all prolly dont give a shit but does anyone know a method to get back into an instagram account? I somehow forgot the account password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me

[@kissfan7]

This hurts my back just watching.

[@NinhLyUK]

kissfan7 It's pretty tough on your back, but once you learn how to 'run low' and keep a low stance, it's not too bad. I played College Hockey and it's a tough game to play properly!

[@d3vilt0wn71]

I’ve played for 5 years and when I was in year 3 it hurt my back but it dosent hurting back anymore

[@HarshKumar-tp4ts]

[@teagann.]

It’s hurts I’ll tell you that

[@BrazilianImperialist]

Once you get used to doing it right it actually does not hurt

[@gilbothelad5275]

This needs updating!, the long coner is now taken at the 23 yard line (in line wherever it goes out)

[@arijitpalit2756]

Also hockey is now played in four 15 minute quarters.

[@linmcdowell8374]

Great job of explaining the game! I do public address for a local high school and one of the sports I do is field hockey. This video gives me a lot of the basics on how the game is played.Thanks!

[@toddd5092]

Fabulous overview of the game in under 5 minutes. Looking forward to watching some of the other videos.

[@toyonkim]

This definitely makes clear understanding of field hockey overall rules! Thank you for making this video :)

this was so helpful when i was starting out !! I still every now and again watch to get a brief update and refresh my mind!! I HIGHLY recommend , especially for beginners!!!

I have played hockey for 2 years now and that makes it even clearer thanks!!

[@rickywaugh5297]

I never knew that field hockey was so much different than ice hockey. thanks Ninh Ly.

[@NinhLyUK]

+Ricky Waugh Yeah, this is the version of 'hockey' every child plays at school in England!

[@davidfox9947]

Totally different sports, Men's Lacrosse is basically Ice Hockey without ice though.

[@rajeshmisra1030]

Very nicely explained. After watching this video things have become clear from the size of the field, goal post size, etc. to Long corner and short corner. Thank you very much.

I think I'm ready for a game, this actually made me excited to watch hockey (can't play though cos people here don't play it). Initially I felt hockey didn't have much to it, but now I'm interested.

[@NinhLyUK]

Its a very interesting sport, you should try it! There's a lot to it that most people don't understand until you actually play.

FYI a short corner is also awarded when an infraction committed by the defending team occurs. This includes but it not limited to hitting with the rounded side of the stick, ball being kicked, dangerous play etc.

[@Lonely_4_Ever]

Long corner is now take at 23m line. Directly opposite the short corner line or "T" spot. I also remember a ball just outside the "D" and not allow to directly send it in unless the ball travelled 5m.

Yes, this video was made before the rules changed.
