Best Answer

A scoop is what you do to often lift the ball over opposing players' feet and sticks. Similar to a flick, you put the center of your stick under the ball, and push up quickly, so the ball raises a good foot off the ground.

A scoop is a method of flicking or raising the ball, with a motion similar to that of using a shovel (hence its name).
