In field hockey what is a dangerous hit?

Answer 1

Yes and no. Firstly, there are many ways you can get hurt in Field Hockey. These can range from regular penalties or fights that break out. Penalties like high-sticking and elbowing can cause many cuts and bruises, which to most seems like an injury. Also, fights can break out. Most deaths from ex-NHL players come from head injuries and when a fight breaks out most likely, the opponent will aim for the head. You can also get hurt if body checking or physical contact is allowed. You could get hit on the head which should always be protected.

(Remember to wear all equipment and hopefully, you can keep yourself injury free!)

Answer 2

A dangerous hit in field hockey is if you hit the ball in the air while a person is in the way of it or has to take evasive action to avoid it. If no one is in the way, it is perfectly fine but you can raise it into the "D".

Answer 3

The ball is considered dangerous when it is raised above the knee and causes "legitimate evasive action", or is raised towards an opponent within 5 metres.
