Roller Hockey (Quad): Zooming on Wheels!

Imagine playing soccer, but on roller skates! That's roller hockey (quad). Two teams zoom around on special roller skates with four wheels, called quad skates. They use long sticks to hit a hard ball. The goal is to get the ball into the other team's net. It's a super exciting game that needs lots of skill and speed!

This game has been around for a long time! People have been playing versions of it for many years. It became really popular in places like Spain and Portugal. These countries have won the most world championships, showing they are super good at this sport!

Roller hockey is amazing because it's so fast! Players have to be quick on their skates and also really good with their sticks. It’s like a dance on wheels, but with a ball and a goal. Plus, there are special players called goalkeepers who try to block the ball from going into their net.

Each team has five players on the rink at once: four skaters and one goalie. They can only use their sticks to move the ball, not their skates! The game has two halves, and if the score is tied, they might play extra time to see who wins. It's a team effort to score goals and win!
