# Hockey - Straight dribble

## [Video Resource](https://media-prod.pehub.eject.pro/cms-sync/cG9zdDoxNzcwNjU0)

The straight dribble is used to move the ball forward while keeping it close to the stick and under control. Players push the ball gently along the ground using the flat side of the stick, keeping their head up to stay aware of space and teammates.

**Teaching Points**

- Hands should be in a wide basic grip
- The stick should be to the right and slightly in front of the body
- Keep the stick in contact with the ball during the dribble; it makes passing easier
- The head should be up, looking at where they are going
