How do I dribble in field hockey

Dribbling in field hockey is a fundamental skill that allows players to move the ball up the field and create scoring opportunities. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to dribble effectively:

Start with the ball on your forehand. This is the side of the stick that faces forward when you are holding it.
Keep your head up and look ahead. This will help you see where you are going and anticipate defenders.
Use small, quick steps to control the ball. Don't try to run with the ball; instead, keep it close to your feet and use your stick to push it forward.
Keep your stick low to the ground. This will help you maintain control of the ball and prevent it from getting knocked away.
Change direction quickly. Defenders will try to cut you off, so be prepared to change direction at a moment's notice.
Protect the ball with your body. Use your body to shield the ball from defenders and keep it away from their reach.
Use feints and moves to deceive defenders. Fake a move one way and then go the other, or use a quick jab to get past them.
