3 We also learn to play hockey at school. You play field hockey (not ice hockey) with a hockey 3 on grass. You can hit the ball hard to try and score a goal, pass it to another player or 'dribble' it. (When you 'dribble', you move the ball with short hits.) You have to be brave to play hockey because the ball is hard and it often hits the players' legs. Ouch! The photo comes from our school competition last summer.
