I'm regularly asked which field hockey abilities players should concentrate on yet it frequently relies upon various factors, for example, your present dimension, your position, your qualities, shortcomings, and so forth.
Notwithstanding, I chose to concoct a rundown of the main 10 field hockey aptitudes that I believe are most valuable for most of cutting edge field hockey players to concentrate on.
The request wherein you build up these aptitudes will rely upon different components, yet I urge you to pick only 1-2 at any given moment with the goal that you begin to see an improvement.
#1: First Touch (Trapping)
Your first touch or "catching" is the capacity to get the ball leveled out and head toward where the space is.
A decent first touch will give you more opportunity to admire see what to do straightaway. It will help to pre-check before you get this show on the road the ball to distinguish where the space is for your best course of action.
For instance you could utilize hard hands to get into space before you or it could be utilizing delicate hands to permit the ball over your body.
You could likewise move the ball to one side or right of your player with your first touch to make space and get balls into space (front side and upstanding converse).
It is likewise worth improving your capacity to trap ricocheting balls off both your privilege and left foot and balls into space (upstanding converse).
I profoundly prescribe you chip away at your capacity to get the ball from various positions (static, moving, feet looking ahead, back to objective, from left side, from right side, and so on).
#2: Hit
This is an ability which a ton of players battle to ace in light of the fact that there are such a significant number of components to think about, for example, foot position, ball position, head position, body position, hip revolution, the swing, grasp, wrist activity, finish, and so forth.
Hitting is helpful for all positions:
For safeguards it could be hitting hard goes through a press
For midfielders it could be crossing the ball into the circle
For strikers (advances) it could be to shoot at objective.
#3: Leading and Positioning
Players should be capable get into great positions on the off chance that they need to get the ball. Driving great enables you to have additional time on the ball and to settle on better choices. There are different sorts of leads you can make and can shift contingent on your position.
Timing is a critical factor to consider as an incredible lead isn't extraordinary except if your planning is right on target. Extraordinary driving originates from understanding the player on the ball just as your capacity to envision what will occur straightaway.
It's additionally imperative to make reference to re-driving in such a case that the ball doesn't come to you, you have to re-lead to make space for another person. This additionally makes it harder for protectors.
#4: Passing
Great plays originate from precise passing so it is a critical angle to cover. This point could be various aptitudes which additionally relies upon the position you play.
For instance:
A safeguard might need to concentrate on their phony slapping or overheads.
A midfielder might need to chip away at going off the correct foot or lifted goes into space.
A striker might need to chip away at 2 v 1's or one-contact passing.
#5: Flat stick handle
All players ought to have the option to make a spotless level stick handle, including advances and even goalkeepers. Terrible handles are regularly made when you get captured in an awful position or are mis-coordinated.
Poor body position, being gotten level footed, submitting too soon are for the most part instances of things that can prompt making terrible handles which results in free hits in risky positions or being checked and incidentally suspended from the game.
You might need to channel a player into a less perilous zone before making a handle. You can do this by holding your stick down and driving them out wide by positioining yourself within cutting off the immediate course to objective.
The key in guard is persistence and trusting that the ideal time will make your handle.
#6: Jab/Poke
The hit or jab handle is a standout amongst the most under utilized abilities which applies to all positions whether it is a striker or midfielder following back or a protector attempting to separate an assault.
The point of the hit handle is to put the player on the ball under strain, alter the course of the ball or show them saw space.
Poking is an incredible method to compel the restriction into zone's of the field which are less perilous and make it hard for them to get past.

#7: Tomahawk/Reverse
In spite of the fact that it very well may be a troublesome aptitude to ace, it is certainly an expertise worth rehearsing particularly if play on the left hand side.
Safeguards can utilize the tomahawk to clear balls down the line, midfielders could utilize it to cross the ball in and strikers to shoot at objective from different edges.
An elective players could use to go from their turn around side is the invert slide. It's not as incredible as the tomahawk but rather can be utilized to escape rapidly. You utilize a hands separated hold and cut the ball on the edge of your stick utilizing a short and low backswing.
#8: V Drag
The V drag (or sham) is a standout amongst the most basic disposal aptitudes and is valuable for most positions, regardless of whether you're:
A protector attempting to escape a difficult spot under strain
A midfielder hoping to break the line to make assaulting openings or
A striker searching for a touch of room to escape.
It is significant that you pull the ball back (like a V development) before pushing ahead to keep the ball out of the safeguards reach. At that point burst forward rapidly at an edge to beat the protector, either left or right of them.
#9: 3D abilities
Numerous safeguards state that one of the hardest things to shield is when players utilize 3D aptitudes.
Utilizing a controlled lift is exceptionally viable to use against players who like to make level stick handles.
When you utilize 3D abilities, protectors will begin to contemplate how to approach you next time which could leave some uncertainty and hesitation in their brain. There are a few varieties, however learning a couple of essentials lifts and jinks ought to work.
#10: Deception
In spite of the fact that this one isn't actually an expertise, it is a perspective which is imperative to create in the event that you need to draw off a ton of the aptitudes referenced previously.
In the event that you can be tricky about what you will do, it makes it harder for the restriction and will give you more existence on the ball.
For instance in the event that you will complete a disposal expertise, at that point basically by dropping your shoulder one path before you alter course, you are bound to persuade the player that you are going that way, making them venture wobbly.
I picked these abilities dependent on what we feel gives you the best an incentive for your time.
Try not to invest an excessive amount of energy in the extravagant abilities you may never utilize and don't make things more confused than they should be.
Actually, on the off chance that you can pass and get well you can achieve the top dimension!
