Do you happen to know if there any lessons available for beginner adults in Northern California? Most of the adult opportunities I found were for playing on teams only (for those who already know how to play from their youth). Thanks in advance! :)

Great video 👍🏻
A quick question, are you a right handed or left hand??

[@vitalhockey1461]

right handed - it's all the same in hockey, we all play the same way.

[@AH-yo6br]

Can you do a video for the defenders please

[@vitalhockey1461]

Yes, we are filming part 3 this week which teaches tackling - should be released in the next 10 days

No problem, you'll get used to it very quickly

When defending, becone a crab 🦀

[@vitalhockey1461]

That's a great way of describing it!

I was expecting, from what he said at the start, that this coach would show us how to hold and use a hockey stick with appropriate grip and ball positioning in relation to the feet and the stick. But no. This presentation was actually worse (incorrect instruction about a static positioning of the left thumb) than half of the dozens of similar attempts to coach these points I have previously seen on CZcams and elsewhere.
I post a video I made more than seven years ago, which gives some insights into the flexibility of the 'grip' required to control a hockey stick while dribbling.

"field" hockey? ....... it's just hockey mate.

[@mutsawashe]

Haven't you ever heard of ice hockey?

[@vitalhockey1461]

It's definitely the only kind of hockey for me - but in some countries you need to distinguish between field and ice.

[@jonathanhodgson2659]

@@mutsawashe Yes, and played it. But it is NOT hockey.... it is ICE hockey.

[@jonathanhodgson2659]

@@vitalhockey1461 That is why the slippery version is called ICE hockey and our version is just called hockey.
