5.0 out of 5 stars This book helped me to get on the varsity field hockey team!, September 30, 2000

By A Customer

At the beginning of the summer, I had no idea how to play field hockey but I knew that I was going to be trying out for the team. So I bought this book. This book taught me almost everything that I needed to know about field hockey! Now I am the only freshman on the varsity field hockey team!!! I highly recomend this book to anyone who wants to learn about this sport.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Good Start, February 20, 2005

By	H. Fillmore-Patrick "(HS) student" (Bridgton, ME USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is good for people who are learning the basics or for FH parents who nod along while other parents are discussing the game :). It provides helpful information about plays, gear, the field, positions, etc. I started playing field hockey last year and for the first season I didn't have an idea what was going on! If you're planning on trying out for a team for the first time and don't want to look like an idiot this book is good for you. However when I read this book I had been playing for a year so I knew almost everything it had in it. The layout of this book isn't anything special and the pictures are black and white and not very clear. This book is a good information guide to knowing the sport, but if you want to get good at field hockey I would pick up a book on FH drills and a stick.
