Score more goals and shut out your opponent! In Field Hockey Techniques & Tactics, Olympic gold medalist Claire Mitchell-Taverner presents the skills and offensive and defensive systems that helped the Hockeyroos dominate the world stage for nearly a decade and revolutionize the game of field hockey.

Elevate your trapping, receiving, passing, dribbling, and shooting by learning the finer technical points of each attacking skill. Perfect your defensive techniques in anticipating opponents' moves and intercepting passes, making strong tackles, and creating eliminations to regain possession and set up additional attacks.

Citing the aggressive attacking and defensive moves that the Hockeyroos used to win gold at every major international tournament over a 9-year span, Mitchell-Taverner places emphasis on applying the press, using man-to-man marking, and zoning up.

Women began to play organized field hockey - which was originally developed as a men's game in Britain in the 1800s - in the late 19th century, overcoming demonstrations, name-calling, and other unpleasant challenges to organize their own association.
