The basics of field hockey are straightforward and easy. The aim of field hockey is to beat other teams. The ball is passed from one player to the next, or dribbled through teammates. It is important to note that you must use the flat side of your stick to pass, lift, and dribble the ball. Touching the ball with the rounded side of your stick is a foul.
Goalkeepers cannot touch the ball from any part of the body.
Goalkeepers are restricted to touching the ball only with their arms or hands. When they do, they must release the ball within six seconds. This rule is seldom enforced. It is not uncommon for goalkeepers be allowed to work longer than they should. Only one exception is when a goalkeeper deliberately kicks the ball towards his side.
The ball can be kicked to goalkeepers but they are prohibited from touching the ball with their fingers or any part of their bodies after their opponent has touched it. If the ball bounces back to them, they can still touch it with their feet. This rule is broken by the goalkeeper and the opposing team receives an indirect kick.
Goalkeepers can touch the ball only with their fingertips. This is in contrast to the other players, who can use any part of their body to touch the ball. Their exception is when they possess the ball and have six seconds in which to pass it to another teammate.
Only goalkeepers may interfere with any other player during the game
Goalkeepers cannot interfere with any other player during a soccer game unless the goal is in danger. However, they are not allowed to interfere with other players for more than six seconds after the ball has been released. The laws of soccer are there to protect goalkeepers.
Goalkeepers can handle the ball better that outfield players. They are allowed to use their hands to reach for the ball while outfield players are not allowed to use their hands. However, this advantage applies only inside the goalkeeper's penalty area. Outfield players must also adhere to the handball law outside of the penalty area.
If a player is trying to defend a goal, they must stay at least 10 meters from the ball. The ball cannot be picked up by goalkeepers after it is dropped. This is because goalkeepers only have one chance to grab the ball. Goalkeepers can pass the ball to teammates with their hands. This 'pass back rule,' however, has caused a lot controversy in the past.
Goalkeepers are the only players allowed to hit the ball with the flat side of their stick
Goalkeepers have special privileges, however. Goalkeepers are allowed to hit the ball using any part of their bodies, while other players can only use the flat side. In addition, they must wear protective gear to avoid injury.
A goal is scored when a teammate hits the ball between the goal posts. This shot can take place from as far away as 16 yards. The goalkeeper must strike the ball with the stick in order to score the goal. If another player is infringing upon the goalline, the goalkeeper will be required to defend it using his stick.
To hit the ball, players must have the opportunity to hit it with the flat side. This is only allowed for goalkeepers. There are exceptions to the rule. For example, if an attack player makes a major foul inside the goal circle, he must be at least 8 meters away from the goal.
