When working on your slap shot technique, remember to transfer the weight from your front foot to your back as you swing through the puck ...

getting low is key. hitting is all about balance. sometimes, if u dont feel like "taking" the hit, you can give it to em by getting low, diggin ur skates into the ice, and lifting straight up to knock em out. lol : )

While playing any position keep in mind the lower you are to the ground, the better.

Practicing pulls (pulling the ball out to the side with your stick) will help you get good control with the ball.

For regular speed dribbling down the field remember to keep your right hand low on the stick, for better control.

To dodge players while moving down the field, try spins (keep your feet and the ball moving or else it's a foul), hitting the ball through the player's legs, pulling the ball back, or hitting and running around them.

For goalies, keep watch on your angles at all times and be ready to move quickly.

For stopping the ball or passing it, the best way to trap it is by keeping the curve and center part of your stick on the ground.

For driving the ball (hitting it far), keep your hands towards the top of the stick, and keep your head down. Remember to stay low, most of the energy is used in your legs-not your arms.

I am taking this field hockey camp and they make us run for like 15 minutes. I can barely run for four minutes. :( I realized when I run I always get tired and out of breath, really out of breath.
My friend told me to breath in my nose and out my mouth. Is this true? Any running techniques, also, so i can keep running? I try to keep my pace really slow, like someone could walk next to me, and i STILL cannot do it.

the breathing in through you nose and out through your mouth is good, but i would say it is more important to have a good rhythm to your breathing. try breathing in for two steps, then breath out for the next two steps, and repeat over and over. you could also try different ways of breathing and see what works best for you.

good luck
