A team can have at most 16 players, only 11 of which (including the goalkeeper, if there is one) can be on the field at any time.
Field Hockey is played by two teams. Each team is permitted to have 11 players on the field at any one time during gameplay, and 5 substitutes off the field. Squads consist of between 11 to 18 players depending on competition rules.
I read somewhere that their were over 3million hockey players in the world but i think there maybe more than that. as the 3 million mentioned are probably registered players and i know there maybe more because i know in this counrty alone there are some unregistered players and clubs so there must be more the world over. ANYONE CARE TO ADD OR TELL ME THE RIGHT FIGURE... it would be interesting to know.
Including the goalkeeper there are 11 players on the field at a time, but most teams have up to four reserves, so a maximum of 15 possible field players per game.
11 players can play on the field. Most teams have about 15 players.

A team can have up to 16 players generally. 11 players are on the field at one time - 10 field players and 1 goal keeper. Up to 5 players can be on the 'bench' and can be rotated into the game at any time.
On the field (best kind), the ice, gym floor, or pavement.
Field hockey is a whole year sport in most countries; the offseason is usually the summer, when many players play the easier form of summer hockey (rule alterations include not being allowed to raise or hit the ball, playing on a halfsize field, less players, etc.).

Yes, males do play field hockey. It is mostly common in European countries, but there are many prominent male field hockey players in the U.S. and Canada, as well as many Asian and Pacific countries, including China, India, Pakistan, Korea, Australia, and New Zealand
I'm pretty sure there can be as many substitutions as you want in the game.
Field hockey is played by males and females of all ages, so their education is as varied as that of any community.
The very best field hockey player is Tourn de Nooijer, the Dutch Captain.
