What happens when the ball hits a player's foot in hockey?

Answer 1

Normally a free hit would be awarded at the point where the ball hit the player (except for within the 5 metre arc, pending new rules), unless there is an advantage to be played. If the player used their feet deliberately though, there is a possibiltity of receiving a green or yellow card and a penalty corner if inside the 23-metres area.

Answer 2

There are several different scenarios that may occur, depending on whose foot it hits, where the ball goes and where the foot-ball occurred; if there is no advantage to the foul then play continues: * If the ball touches a foot in open play (between the 23-metre-lines) the opposing team receives a free hit at the spot of the foul; if the opposing team regains the ball and develops play then the game continues. * If the ball touches the foot of an attacker within 14.63 metres of the baseline, a free hit is awarded to the defense. This hit can be taken anywhere up to 14.63 metres from th baseline in line with where the foul occurred; if it occurred in the circle, it may be taken anywhere within the circle. * If the ball touches the defender's foot within the 23-metre-area but outside the circle, the attack receives a free indirect hit at the spot of the foul; if the foul occurred within 5 metres of the circle, it must be taken back to that distance. * If the ball touches the foot of a defender inside the circle accidentally, a penalty corner is awarded; if the foot stopped the probable scoring of a goal, a penalty stroke should be awarded; if the foot was deliberate, the player should receive a yellow card. * If the ball touches the foot of a player with GKPs inside the circle, play on; if outside the circle, a penalty corner is awarded; if deliberately, a yellow card is given to the player.

Answer 3

It depends on what happened before that, and where in the field it was as well as who was around the player. Things can range from a free hit to either team, to nothing at all, to serious things like a penalty corner or stroke.

Answer 4

Depending on where, when and why, a range of things might happen:

• If there is no advantage to that team or if the player is a goalkeeper within the circle, nothing is done. Play continues.
• If the foot presents an advantage to the offending team, the apppropriate penalty is given. this may be a free hit or a penalty corner.
• If the foot prevents the probable scoring of a goal, a penalty stroke is given.
• If the foot was a deliberate foul, the player may receive a green or yellow card for misconduct,

Answer 5

This is a foul, and a free kick should be awarded for the goalkeepers' team

Answer 6

Hitting the ball is often a decent part of playing the game. However, hitting it at certain times or in certain ways will result in penalties.
