In field hockey, a "flick" occurs when a player pushes the ball and raises it off the ground.
The flick is a technique used to lift the ball into the air while maintaining control and accuracy, typically during shots on goal or penalty corners. Unlike a hit, which involves striking the ball with force, a flick is executed by pushing the ball while quickly lifting the stick, causing the ball to rise off the ground. This move is often used to bypass defenders or goalkeepers.
