Instead of skates, players wear sneakers, and the game is typically played on a flat, enclosed surface such as a gymnasium or a specially designed outdoor rink. The primary equipment includes a ball rather than a puck, and players use sticks to control and shoot the ball into the opposing team’s net. Ball hockey emphasizes teamwork, agility, and quick decision-making, making it an accessible and enjoyable sport for players of all skill levels. The game’s versatility allows it to be played in various settings, contributing to its popularity in schools, recreational leagues, and organized tournaments around the world.
