Step 1
The most popular hockey sport is, of course, ice hockey. In this type of hockey, the game is played with sticks and a puck, and the athletes move on the ice on skates. The essence of the sport is that two teams fight against each other, trying to throw as many pucks into the opponent's goal as possible. This sport is included in the winter Olympic program.
Step 2
In addition to the classic, ball hockey or Russian hockey is also distinguished. Another name for this sport is bandy. In this sport, the fight between the teams also takes place on the ice, but instead of the puck, the players use the ball. The essence of the game is to score as many goals as possible into the opponent's goal. It can be said that this sport is a mixture between classic hockey and football.
Step 3
Another type of hockey is field hockey, in which sticks and a hard plastic ball are considered equipment. An artificial turf is used for playing field hockey. The essence of the sport is still the same: two rival teams try to score as many goals as possible into the opponent's goal. There is also a special kind of this sport - indoor hockey, competitions in which are held indoors.
Step 4
There is also floorball or indoor hockey. Games are held indoors on a solid, level surface. With the help of clubs, players should try to drive the plastic ball into the opponent's goal. As in other varieties of this sport, the team that hits the opponent's goal the most times wins.
Step 5
Another popular golf club sport is golf. Players or teams compete with each other, trying to drive a small ball into a special hole, and they need to cover a certain distance using the least number of strokes. The golf course may have some obstacles in the form of tall grass, trees and bushes, water hazards, or sand traps. There are many types of golf clubs. Golf was included in the program of the Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro in 2016.
