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'
