The document provides instructions for performing the sweep hit in field hockey. It describes the proper form and technique, including keeping the back low and bent at the waist with the stick wrapping around the body in a C shape. The instructions emphasize keeping the arms straight at impact, eyes on the ball, and maintaining balance on the toes of the right foot with weight on the left foot to execute the sweep hit correctly.
