How to start indoor at your School

Here are a few ideas of what you can do to start indoor hockey at your school.

• You don't need indoor hockey sticks.

• You can use your normal hockey balls to train.

• You don't need boards, can use the wall(I would cover any fire alarms)

The rules. (A quick guide, videos at the bottom of the page)

1. No lifting, except a shot at the goal.

2. Do drilling(can't push the ball through another player) 

3. Hands a part only, No hitting/sweeping.

4. 3 meters rather than 5 meters.

Equipment

Here are a few ideas on how to buy cheaper equipment.
