I have regretted and hated that I have been out of the Field Hockey scene since I blew out my knee 10 years ago. So, I decided to try to get back into it by working on training and drills in Steveston Park. As it turns out, it's MUD. I did find a place to practice my hits though. Before that, I bought my stick on craiglist. There's a first time for everything. Yes, I know I'm behind the times for software geek.
I didn't have a proper ball to practice with. Tennis balls are just not a good substitude. I needed a solid ball with some cork in the middle. Trust me. You do NOT want to get between me and my long hits! Or short hits for that matter. They are really hard.
I went to the one and only field hockey shop to buy a ball. Just as I was about to pay, I saw under the counter the CUTEST mini hockey sticks. I just HAD to get it for Angela.
Got her a floor hockey ball to play with.
She took to it like a duck to water. Check out her skills.
1. Passive defence
2. Flick hit
3. Fakey in the legs
Hmmmm. I wonder at what age they can start playing in a league. She's gonna ROCK me thinks.
