Field Hockey Rules in Australia

A field hockey match is made up of two halves, typically 35 minutes per event, and begins with a pass back (a non-defended pass from one teammate to another at mid-field). There are 11 players to a side, among whom is a goalkeeper. The goal of the game is to score more goals than the opposition. Goals are scored when the ball made of solid vinyl, weighing between 5 ½ ounces and 5 ¾ ounces with a circumference of 8 13/16 inches to 9 ¼ inches crosses the goal line between the goal posts after being touched by the stick of an attacker inside the circle. Each goal is worth one point. The ball may only be touched with the horizontal side of the curved, hardwood stick.
Extra Time/Overtime

In international play, in classification rounds or games that require a winner to advance to the next round, if the score is tied after regulation, extra time of two, 7 ½ minute periods are played. The game is ended when one team scores a goal. If the score remains tied after overtime, penalty strokes may be used to determine the winner. In penalty stroke competition, each team selects five players to take alternating penalty strokes against the opposing goalkeeper

Fouls

A player may not
  • Shield or obstruct the ball from an opponent with the body or stick. All players must have an equal chance to gain control of the ball as it is dribbled or passed down the field.
  • Play the ball with the rounded side of the stick.
  • Interfere in the game without a stick
  • Charge hit, shove or trip an opponent
  • Play the ball in a potentially dangerous way.
  • Use the foot or leg to support the stick in order to resist an opponent
  • Raise the stick in a dangerous or intimidating manner while approaching, attempting to play or stop the ball

Penalty Corner

In a penalty corner, the ball is placed on the goal line a minimum of 10 yards from the nearest goal post. One attacking player hits the ball to a teammate just outside the striking circle line. No shot on goal might be removed until the ball is stopped or come to rest on the floor outside the circle. All attackers have to be outside the ring before the hit is taken. On defense, a maximum of five defenders might be behind the goal line while the remaining defenders have to be positioned past the centerline.
Typically, the attacking player taking the free hit passes the ball to her teammates positioned outside the striking circle. An offensive player will block the ball with the stick while another player will strike the ball at the goal.

Hockey Jerseys

Like all the other big sports, hockey fans love their gameday gear and team jerseys are the top option for most fans. Similar to basketball jerseys, hockey jerseys are somewhat limited in their year-round usage. They were called sweaters for a reason, and still include a thicker fabric than most other sports, with long sleeves. However, this does not present as much of a problem since the hockey season runs during the colder months of the year. Teams often option for customized hockey jersey for their teammates.

An umpire should always prepare yourself before a game in more ways than one. An umpire should be fit enough to handle the duration. An umpire should always warm up prior to umpiring a match, a body will help in the reaction times when the ball changes hands. Carry a rule book with you to every game. A rule book is always convenient to have available to get a rule check at half time or directly after a game. Umpires should always be current with upgrades or any rules of...
