Field hockey is stupid.
the first poster is fantastic because he posted a link to verify himself incorrect

anyway hockey came from shinny not lacross
They are played on what is in front of the word hockey.

Well hockey was derived from lacrosse. The largest difference between these sports and lacrosse is that in any of these hockey games the ball stays on the ground most of the time and is you hit the ball with a stick to pass it. In lacrosse you use a sticks with mesh pouches on the end and is thrown to another player and is caught in the air.
There might be a team at your school

I couldnt find any field hockey teams because i dont live there but im sure there is one. But I do know that their is a summer camp for field hockey and lacrosse which would be really excellent to help get you started and you could question them where an 8 year-ancient can play field hockey. http://www.fscamps.com/camps/fieldhockey.php
