3 I.H.S.F.H.A. Rules for safe Play “Rough and dangerous play has no play in field hockey. Coaches have a responsibility to teach safe and appropriate skills and techniques. Players have a responsibility to avoid dangerous and unsafe play. Officials have a responsibility to apply and enforce the rules.” (Federation Rules 2002-03) Let’s take control of the safety of our sport! 1. Don’t touch the stick! Occurs when a player “hits, holds, slashes or stick her opponents stick.” Usually occurs when a defender attempts to take the ball away from an offensive player and strikes or taps her stick in process. Usually occurs when an attacking player attempts to hit the ball, misses and hits the defenders stick in the process.

Tackling from behind is very dangerous and almost always results in stick interference and body contact. Shadow, don’t tackle until in a good defensive position. 2. Hockey is a non contact sport! “Rough play- tackling and making body contact with players whether with the body or the hand is NOT legal…charging, pushing, tripping or personally handling an opponent is illegal”

Usually occurs defensively when the defender attempts to take the ball away from a player in possession. She makes contact with her body when attempting to regain possession. Like basketball, the defender may not bump or touch the player in possession in any way or block her path for advancing the ball. Look for how the defender goes in for a tackle—if she touches the player in possession, she fouls!

Usually occurs offensively when the attacker plays the ball through the defensive player and charges with her body. Like basketball, the player in possession may not “charge” the defender, she must make a move to go around the defender and avoid body contact. 3. Pass Around not through! “Deliberately or blindly hitting into an opponent is a foul.” Usually occurs when a player in possession is attempting to pass the ball. Instead of moving the ball to a clear space to make the pass, she passes the ball through the defender and creates a dangerous situation especially when the pass is hard. Players should attempt to make passes around opponents, not through them.
