Step 1: Find a playing field Find a good place to play, such as a tennis court, a street cul-de-sac, a parking lot, or a flat rooftop. Tip Move indoors to a gymnasium or a large basement when the weather's too cold or when it rains. Step 2: Get equipment Find some hockey sticks, a ball or street puck, and a simple net. Tip Be creative if you lack specific items –use a tennis ball or even a soda can if you don't have a puck; and use a soccer or badminton net. Step 3: Wear protective gear Wear face masks, mouth guards, and eye protection – especially if you have braces or wear glasses. Step 4: Practice in street shoes Practice in comfortable sneakers with good treads before moving on to rollerblades. Step 5: Invite neighbors Invite friends and neighbors to play. Keep things casual as more people join in. Step 6: Keep score Keep score using stones or sidewalk chalk. Count one point for each goal – but don't let the competition ruin your fun. Did You Know? Impromptu games of street hockey sprung up in front of the White House after a section of Pennsylvania Avenue was closed in 1995 for security reasons.
