Field hockey or grass hockey (English: field hockey) is a team sport of the hockey family. The sport’s earliest origins date back to the Middle Ages in Scotland, the Netherlands, and England. The games can be played on a natural lawn or an indoor artificial turf. Each team plays with eleven people including the goalkeeper. Players use sticks made of wood or fiberglass to hit a round, hard, rubber-like ball. The length of the club depends on the height of each player. There is no left hand club on hockey, and only one side of the club is allowed.
Uniforms include shin guards, sneakers, skirts or shorts and tops. In the early 21st century, this game was popular all over the world, especially popular throughout Western Europe, the Indian subcontinent, Australia, New Zealand, the South and the Northeastern United States (like Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Kentucky, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania), Argentina and South Africa. Hockey is Pakistan’s national sport, and is sometimes regarded as the national sport of India, although officially India does not have a national sport. The term “grass hockey” is used primarily in Canada, the United States, Eastern Europe and other regions of the world where the sport of ice hockey is more common.
