In Field Hockey, if two or more players from opposing teams tackle each other, the umpire may call a foul, usually resulting in a free hit awarded to the team that was not At Fault. Tackling must be done within the rules; players cannot use their bodies to obstruct or push opponents. If the tackle is deemed dangerous or aggressive, the offending player may receive a card, potentially leading to a suspension from the game. Safety is a priority, and any actions deemed reckless can result in penalties.
There is currently no offside rule in field hockey. There were prior offside rules, rules that restricted the positioning of players from the attacking team in a way similar to the offside rule in soccer. The offside rules were changed as the rules of field hockey changed. The evolution of the field hockey offside rule culminated with its abolition in the mid 1990s.
