Field Hockey Facts

  • Field hockey is one of the oldest competitive sports which is recorded way back into Ancient Greek Olympic games
  • One of the most popular team sports in the world
  • Field hockey is played on all five continents by 3 million people around the world.
  • The International Hockey Federation consists of five Continental associations and 127 member associations.

Field hockey is an easy sport to pick up and play - all that is required is a ball, a stick and then a mouth guard and shin pads for safety
