The basic field hockey rules are simple and straightforward. The goal of field hockey is to beat each other. Players can pass the ball from one player to another or may dribble the ball through other players. It is important that you use the flat side to pass, lift, or dribble your ball. To touch the ball with the round side of your stick, is a foul.
Only goalkeepers can touch the ball with any part or their bodies
Goalkeepers must not touch the ball with either their hands or their arms. When they do touch the ball with their arms or hands, they must release it within six seconds. This rule is seldom enforced. It's not unusual for goalkeepers being given more time that they need. One exception is when a goalkeeper intentionally kicks the ball towards his own side.
While the ball may be kicked to goalkeepers, they cannot touch the ball with their hands or any other part of their body after the opponent has touched it. If the ball bounces back to them, they can still touch it with their feet. If the goalkeeper does not follow this rule, the opposing player gets an indirect kick.
Goalkeepers are restricted to touching the ball only with their hands. This is in contrast to the other players, who can use any part of their body to touch the ball. They only have six seconds to pass the ball to their teammates if they are in possession of it.
Only goalkeepers have the right to interfere with the play of other players.
Goalkeepers cannot interfere with any other player during a soccer game unless the goal is in danger. However, goalkeepers cannot interfere with another player for more that six seconds after the ball's release. The rules of the game are meant to protect goalkeepers.
Goalkeepers have an edge over outfield players when it comes to handling the ball. They can use their hands for reaching the ball, while outfielders are restricted from using their hands. This advantage does not apply outside the goalkeepers' penalty area. Outfield players must also adhere to the handball law outside of the penalty area.
When defending a goal a player must remain at least ten yards away from it. Goalkeepers are also not allowed to pick up the ball after it has been dropped. This is because goalkeepers may only pick up a ball once per game. But goalkeepers may pass the ball to another player by using their hands. The 'pass back' rule has been controversial in the past.
Goalkeepers are allowed to hit the ball only with the flat side.
Goalkeepers enjoy special privileges. Goalkeepers are able to hit the ball any way they want, unlike other players, who can only use their flat sticks. To avoid injury, goalkeepers must also wear protective gear.
A goal is achieved when a player hits their ball between the goal posts. This shot may be taken at a distance up to 16 meters. The goalkeeper must strike the ball with the stick in order to score the goal. If another player is infringing upon the goalline, the goalkeeper will be required to defend it using his stick.
A player must have an opportunity hit the ball with the flat end of his stick to be able to hit it. Only goalkeepers have the right to do this. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. If an attack player commits a major foul within the goal circle, he must be at most 8 meters from the goal.

Once you are comfortable with slowing down or speeding up, it is time to learn how turn. To turn, you simply lean your body to the side you wish to move towards. You will fall to the ground if you lean too much. If you don't lean enough, you will not be able turn. Once you can turn well enough, you can begin learning tricks.
