RULESHere are the main rules in hockey:You will be penalized if: Your foot touches the ball at any time Your less than 5 metres away when the

opponent is taking a penalty If there's a two on one tackle If you lift the ball to high If there are more than eleven players on the

field The ball touches the curved side of the stick

RULES- SHORT CORNERS A short corner is when the ball touches someone on

the other teams foot in your circle. When that happens your team sets up like this: And someone on your team

pushes up to the people on

the circle from the back

line.

Four people from the other team are in the goal with the goalie while the rest of the team is at the half way line and as soon as the ball is pushed out they run out of the goal or from the half way line to defend their goal.

RULES-LONG CORNERS Long corners are similar to short corners but

it happens when the ball is hit out over the back line by the defender or goalie.

When a long corner is awarded it is taken on the sideline where their will be a white dot (line).

Where it is taken from:

RULES-PENALTY STROKE A penalty stroke is awarded to the attacking

team when they have been purposely fouled in the circle. The ball is placed 7m away from goal on a marked penalty spot, and a player attempts to score against the goalkeeper. The attacking player is allowed only one stroke, which can be a push or flick - but not a hit or slap.

HISTORY Hockey is said to be the oldest team sport in

history. The games roots can date back to 4000 years ago.

In 1850 hockey became a popular sport in schools.

When it was first played a cube was used instead of a ball.

HISTORY The first record of Field hockey was played

over 4,000 years ago in Egypt. The style of play most similar to today's field

hockey began in England in 1849. the first organized men's team was called ‘Blackheath’. Men started playing Olympic field hockey in 1908 while the women did not play on the Olympic level until 1980.

GEAR When you play hockey you need to a mouth guard and

shin pads to keep yourself safe. The shin pads are to protect your shins. If you don’t

wear them you will come of the field with a lot of bruises and you may also be sent of the field to put them on.

The mouth guard protects your teeth so if the ball is lifted and it hits you mouth there's less chance your teeth will be knocked out.

Sometimes when a short corner is played the people in the goal wear masks but that’s only in serious games.

GEAR You will also need a stick and a ball. You obviously need a stick to play the game

with but if you have training it is also needed and if you want to practise at home.

You don’t always need a ball because the game ball is always supplied and you will borrow one at training but if you do practise at home you'll need it then.

GEAR- GOALIE When you play hockey there is always a goalie. The goalie protects the goal but has to stay inside the

circle. They also have to wear lots of protective gear this

includes: A helmet Leg guards Kickers Chest protector Blocking glove and a glove to put the stick in

POSITIONS On a hockey field there are 11 positions.

There is the goalie, 2 fullbacks, 2 half backs (half's),2 inners, 2 wings, a centre half and a centre forward.

The goalie, fullbacks, half's and centre half are the defence. They stay back to keep the other team away from the goal although, a lot of the time the centre half goes up to help score goals.

POSITIONS The inners, wings and the centre forward are

the attackers. They go and “attack” the other teams defence to try to get a goal.

There can only be 14 people on each team. Here are where the positions go:

FIELD The average hockey field is around 100 metres

long and 60 metres wide. The quarters are around 23 metres wide and from the goal to the edge of the circle it is around 15 metres. And most of the time when you warm up before the game your told to go for a few laps around the field.
