Field hockey is played on a pitch by two teams of 11. Players use a curved stick with a flat face on one side and can only hit the ball with that flat side. Goals count only if the ball is struck from inside the shooting circle.
A match has four 15-minute quarters. Tied knockout games go to a shootout in which a player runs in from the 23-metre line and has eight seconds to score.
Great Britain and England play at the Olympics and the World Cup, and the Pro League is the main yearly international league.
