A bully occurs in Field Hockey when two players become tied up, and one cannot gain possession of the ball. After the referee calls for a bully to be performed, the two players stand facing each other, with the heads of their sticks placed on the ground. The ref then blows the whistle, and the players clap their sticks together once, and attempt to gainpossession of the ball.
*A bully occurs most often in the sport of indoor field hockey.

Field Hockey: Field hockey was in its early days started with a Bully... this is where one player from opposite teams started at the centre spot and tapped the ground 3 times and the stick 3 times alternatively... then played the ball to their team mates.
The action is called a bully. In modern field hockey, the sticks are only tapped (not hit!) once together, before the ball is in play.
