Indoor Hockey

Indoor hockey is an indoor variant of “traditional” outdoor field hockey. It differs from outdoor hockey in a number of ways. There are fewer players in an indoor hockey team with teams comprising a maximum of 12 players with only five, including the goalkeeper, allowed on the pitch at any one time.

The field of play is much smaller, a hard surface in a sports hall or similar venue, with boards along the sidelines that prevent the ball from going out of play at the side.

It is an excellent way to improve fitness and stick skills because of its intensity and the smaller space it is played in.
