Field Hockey has a long history dating back to nearly 4000years. The modern day game is credited to the public schools in England with Blackheath being the first ever Hockey Club in the world but the modern day game was developed by Teddington Hockey Club who first introduced the striking circle 'D' and also changed the ball from a rubber cube (yes that's right it used to be a cube) to a sphere.
