Currently there are no offside rules in Field Hockey; except for the 5m distance required of an opponent at a free hit, or that all players must be in their own half for a centrepass.

There is no except, there is no off side. The distance that opponents and sometimes your own players, have to be from a free hit, side line hit or corner hit has nothing to do with 'off side'

yes. the ice is broken down into 3 equal parts. offensive zone, defensie zone, and neutral zone. the neutral zone will always be the middle park of the ice that is encompassed by the blue lines. the offensive and defensive zones wilol change as teams shoot different ways. the side your goalie is on is your defensie zone from your goalie to the same side blue line. the offensive zone is the opposing teams goalie to the nearest blue line. offsides occurs when a player from the team on the offensive crosses the blueline of the offesive zone before the puck does. the puck must cross the offensive zone blue line before any of the team trying to score players do otherwise offsides will ensue. sorry for such a long intro to the answer, i was on a roll lol - masta v
