Field hockey is a team sport which is popular and played internationally by both men and women. It is played outside on a grass field or a turf field.

The target is to score by hitting, pushing or flicking a ball into an opposing team’s field hockey goal using sticks. To a field hockey equipment belongs the field hockey stick, which normally measures between 31 and 38 inches. It is traditionally made of wood, but is now often made also with fibreglass, kevlar or carbon fire composites. Field hockey balls are hard spherical balls, made of plastic.

To be successfull, team work and tactical discipline is very important. Different tactics should be trained with the right field hockey equipment.
