➢ Introduction :
Field Hockey is an eleven-a-side game played on a pitch of 91.40 m x 54.86 m with a ball which has a 23cm circumference. Each player has a stick with a rounded head to play the ball with an objective to score goals by putting the ball in the opposing team’s goal in the duration of 60 minutes. Sticks are anywhere between 28 inches and 39 inches long and weigh between 340g and 790g. Protective equipment is worn in the form of full body armor, pads, gloves, kickers and a helmet by the goal keepers and shin guards and mouth guards for outfield players.

International Hockey Federation (FIH)
The Federation Internationale de Hockey (English: International Hockey Federation), commonly known by the acronym FIH, is the international governing body of field hockey and indoor field hockey. FIH was founded on 7 January 1924 in Paris by Paul Leautey, who became the first president, in response to field hockey ’s omission from the programme of the 1924 Summer Olympics. Its headquarter is located in Lausanne, Switzerland and FIH is responsible for field hockey ’s major international tournaments, notably the World Cup.

In a significant way forward, Indian Hockey Federation (I.H.F) & Hockey India (H.I), on 25 July 2011, signed an agreement leading up to formation of a joint executive board which shall perform the function of the National Sports Federation for field hockey.
➢ Hockey Specification
➢Hockey field and its Measurements
➢ Hockey Court Markings
(i) Side line : The longer perimeter line (90.40m).
(ii) Backline : The shorter perimeter line (55m).
(iii) Goal-lines : The back-lines between the goalposts.
(iv) 23 Meter area : The area enclosed by and including the line across the field 22.90 meters from each back-line, the relevant part of the sidelines, and the back-line.
(v) Penalty spot : Penalty spot is marked in front of the centre of each goal in the centre of each spot 6.40 m from the inner edge of the goal-line.
(vi) Playing distance : The distance within which a player is capable of reaching the ball to play it.
(vii) Shooting circles : There are two shooting circles, one in front of each of the goals. The shooting circles are 14.63 m semi-circles and it is measured from the inside front corner of the goal-post to the outer edge of that line.
(viii) Dotted circle : There are two dotted circles one in front of each of the goals which is 19.63 m.
➢ Latest General Rules of Hockey
(i) The two minute green card will be penalized for using the stick above the shoulder.
(ii) The breaking at penalty corners. Regulation has effected a significant reduction in the number of breaks at tournaments, by both attackers and defenders. As a consequence, the requirement that a penalty stroke be awarded for defenders persistently crossing the back-line before permitted has been deleted.
(iii) The ability to take attacking free hits, awarded within 5 meters of the edge of the circle, from the point of the offence. The ball still has to travel at least 5 meters before it can be played into the circle, or alternatively has to be touched by another player of either team, other than the player taking the free hit. Having to take the ball back to the 5 meters dotted line slowed the play and was seen as a real disadvantage to the attacking team and the flow of the game.
(iv) The re-start after the ball has unintentionally been played over the back-line by a defender or deflected by a goalkeeper or player with goalkeeping privileges, and no goal is scored. Play will now be re-started with the ball on the 23 meters line and in line with where it crossed the back-line.
(v) There is also a lifting of the ban on certain types of face masks, in particular those with metal grills, recognizing that the primary objective of wearing a face mask to defend a penalty corner should be safety. Nevertheless, players wearing face masks are not permitted to conduct themselves in a manner which is dangerous to other players by taking advantage of the protective equipment that they wear.
➢ New Amendment in the Rules of Hockey
(i) Now, the players cautioned with the green card will be suspended for 2 minutes.
(ii) The duration of the match is of 60 minutes.
(iii) Ball intentionally played over the back-line by a defender and no goal is scored. If it is clear that the action is intentional, umpires should not hesitate to award a penalty corner.
(iv) Obstruction–Umpires should penalize shielding the ball with the stick more strictly. They should also look out for a tackling player who by pushing or leaning on an opponent causes them to lose possession of the ball.
(v) Ball stationary at a free hit–Umpires are sometimes not strict enough on requiring the ball to be stationary, although very briefly, for a free hit especially if it is taken using a self-pass.

(vii) Feinting : When a player dribbles to mislead his opponent. Feinting with the ball is to draw the ball sideways to the left or right at an angle to the line of the dribble, just in front of the opponent to make the opponent sway to that side, beating an opponent with a body-swerve (to dodge) produced by a shift of weight.
