What are the physical demands of field hockey?

Answer 1

The physical demands will depend on what level you play. At higher grades, the game is very fast and very intense - some players will literally be drenched in sweat after a game. However, social and lower grades are often a lot easier on the body and are more enjoyable for their slower pace.
