Hockey in Pondichery

Hi friends,

On Wednesday the 27th of 0ctober in the afternoon we had a lesson of hockey with two P.E teachers. With them we learned that hockey is a national sport in India and we learned the composition of a team. A team is composed by 11 players and 5 substitutes. That a match is divided in halves of 35 minutes. There are fours positions : goalkeeper, forwards, miedfielders and the fullbacks: the defenders. We learned the basic rules like we have to take the ball with the frontside of the stick (the flat one) and the basic moves : control, keep, push and shoot the ball.

We learned that we don't precisely know when hockey was invented but there are 4000-year-old drawings from Egypt.
It was a great afternoon!
