Exactly when is hard to tell, but the first women's Field Hockey club was founded in 1887. The first women's field hockey national association was in Ireland in 1894.

Is field hockey a hard sport to play?

Person 1 Field hockey is just as hard as any sport, it all depends on the amount of dedication you put into it. Person 2 I've played some field hockey and a lot of ice hockey, and I found field hockey much harder. For one thing, it is unfair to those of us who are left shots.
