For centuries Europeans and Indians have been playing a game using a ball and a stick, from which modern field hockey originated. Field hockey, or simply ‘hockey’, is one of the most popular team sports in the Netherlands. Dutch hockey has been played at an international level for many years. And not without success: between them, the Dutch women’s and men’s teams have already won Olympic titles, and world and European titles.
Hockey associations Dopie, D.S.H.C. and Scoop organise hockey training sessions in collaboration with X. The only way to participate in these hockey training sessions is as a member of one of these associations.
Teams are selected at the start of each academic year based on player ability and each team has its own coach. The matches take place at the weekend. The clubs have their own training methods but generally the sessions are structured in the same way.
They all start with a warming-up, which usually involves a run and a quick practice hitting the ball around to each other. Then you complete various exercises to practice different techniques and tactics. The training session often ends with a practice match.
