In field hockey how far is the penalty spot from the goal?

Answer 1

When a penalty corner is taken the defensive team must follow these rules: * Up to 5 members of the team (incuding the goalie if there is one) may be behind the backline and at least 5 metres from the player injecting the ball. * the remaining 6 members of the team must be behind the centre line The attacking team proceeds with 1 player pushing/hitting out from the backline inside the circle and at least 10 metres from the goal, with all remaining attackers outside the circle.

Answer 2

All opponents must be 10 yards from the corner arc. This would be 11 yards from the corner itself.

Answer 3

The penalty spot is 15cm wide with its centre 6.4 metres from the centre of the goalline; the ball can be placed anywhere on that spot when the stroke is taken.

Answer 4

Opponents must be at least 10 yards away from the corner arc at the taking of the kick. This would be 11 yards away from the corner itself.

Answer 5

The centre of the penalty spot is 6.40 metres from the nearest (infield) edge of the goalline, measured from the centre of the this line parallel to the sidelines.
