Why play a team sport? Field hockey leads by example
Jul 29, 2015
Thinking about trying a new sport? Not sure where to start? If you’re leaning towards team sport, you’ve probably thought about some of the unique benefits it offers. For example, in team sports one:
- builds a social network of like-minded individuals,
- improves their interpersonal skills, and
- gets to experience the camaraderie that comes with working toward a common goal.
Leading by example, field hockey is one of the great sports that demonstrates a progressive team sport culture. Field hockey is also unique because, though it is played by male and female participants of all ages and abilities, it remains a sport dominated by female participation across all areas of BC (1:7 ratio male to female). For this reason, it is one of the few team sports tailored to the unique needs of female participants.
