Hockey is the national game of India. It is played on a field with two teams, each having eleven players. Players use a curved stick to hit a small hard ball and try to score goals.

India has a proud history in hockey and has won eight Olympic gold medals, more than any other country. Legendary players like Dhyan Chand made India famous in the world of hockey.

The game teaches us teamwork, discipline, and sportsmanship. Hockey matches are fast and exciting to watch. Many schools and clubs in India encourage children to play hockey.

I like hockey because it is full of energy and shows great skill.
