Disadvantages: Can be dangerous

I believe that hockey is better than footbal down to the fact that it requires more skill to play and its top players don't need to earn thousands of pounds a week to play for their team

I have been playing Hockey for nearly four years now and it is one of the best things I have ever done. It all started when a friend of mine asked if I would like to join the local hockey team as they where short of players and on the next Saturday I played my first ever game. Before I played in this game I thought that hockey was for girls and not a sport boys should be taking part in. How wrong could I have been with only a few minutes gone I had already had several players go past me. After that match I was hooked on the sport.
The team I play for is only a small village team but it is still great fun to play.
Since I have joined the team has grown quite considerably from one team which was struggling to get players every week to two mens teams and a Ladies team.
I would also like to mention how friendly the sport is at the end of every match everybody does the three cheers thing and after everybody has showered and changed the home team take the away team for some food which is free now I can't see many football teams doing that. I believe that hockey is very hard to master it requires a lot of skill to control the stick and the ball movement.
