FIELD HOCKEY IN ONE LINE
Field hockey is a team sport played on synthetic turf or grass where players use curved wooden or composite sticks to propel a hard ball. Goals can only be scored from within a semi-circular striking circle, making circular penetration central to tactics.
LACROSSE IN ONE LINE
Lacrosse is a contact team sport played with a small rubber ball and long-handled sticks featuring mesh nets. Players use the stick head to catch, carry, pass, and shoot the ball into the opponent's goal.
