The flick is the hockey equivalent of a chip in football.

Rather than running along the surface of the pitch, the ball is lifted off the ground.

The flick can be used as a way of passing, as long as it is not deemed dangerous by the umpire.

You can also use it to shoot at goal and from the penalty spot.

It's also a deft way of flipping the ball over an opponent's stick.

STEP ONE

Lean back on your right leg and roll your right wrist and arm backwards.

Keep a low body position.

STEP TWO

The ball should be in line with the toes on the left foot.

The stick face needs to be against the ball facing slightly upwards.
