      Introduction

      Field Hockey is a very popular sport. It is usually called Hockey but in countries where the word hockey is reserved as a generalization for other sports like ice hockey or street hockey, it is formally known as Field Hockey. It is played in many countries, including the US, Australia, England, South Korea, India and Pakistan.

      Field Hockey became popularized in the early 1900’s. At first, it was played on grass but then later on, in the early 1980’s, it was being played on Astroturf (a grass-like carpet spread on the hockey field).

      History of the Game

      The game began in Egypt and Ancient Greece, where it was played with a horn-like object and ball. In the middle ages of Mongolia and Europe, hockey-like games were played for more than a thousand years. In the mid-14th century the game was given the modern name of hockey.

      It gained immense popularity during summer seasons at English sport clubs. It was there that Hockey developed into a competitive sport. Teddington Hockey Club introduced new rules to the game in the 1880’s, and changed the ball to a sphere from cubical rubber.
