This is exactly why Pennsylvania produces high level hockey players and not Florida....

umm im a defensive player too and if we ever swung our stick like that in the game (and maybe it's just the refs) we get called 99% of the time for hacking if we hit their stick or not. and if this video is for beginners, they should probs start with the basic block tackling and jab when the ball is NOT on the attackers stick.

[Tori2120]

um everybody that doesnt like this video. im a defensive player and hes saying everything right. defense is made for diversion. when a forward trys to score or passes up the field, a defender isnt trying to stop the goal from happening. thats why we have goalies. were try to defend our part of the field by trying to move them away from it. so yes, by diverting them away from the circle we would swing at them. as long as you DONT hit the stick, they wont call hacking. and jabbing is very useful 2

rubbish training.. the main thing with defence is to let the attacker make the mistake,

[spiedey12]

@davedmu8

totally true but you can do that with jabbing and running backwards.

and when he lift his stick for a shot take the ball out:D

[brityvette]

Probably the worst video I have ever seen for defensive training. Coach, you need to learn how to defend, starting with low block tackling!

[Weetikveelwelkenaam]

Lovely way he jabs at the ball, if the player hits at the same moment the ball will end up in his face via his stick

[rdb12307]

this video is so unrealistic...if you ever swing your stick like that when your opponent is dribbling towards you, you will get an immediate call for hacking. if you want to learn field hockey dont come and watch youtube....

[pflickgoal]

I wouldnt listen to him, my god you would get absolutely crucified if you tackled like that. Dont ever swing your stick in mate, coach - go learn your game.

You block tackle, or jab tackle, do not swing as you will miss and get sent off for doing a horrific stick tackle
