Basic Rules for Indoor Hockey
Indoor Hockey differs from conventional 100 yard long outdoor hockey in that it requires tighter play in a smaller area. Adaptation in the outdoor rules was made to compensate for this tighter play. These rule adaptations require players to refine their passing and ball control skills. In Indoor Hockey, boards are used along the sidelines. The ball can be played off these boards and stay in play.
The Indoor Hockey rules are the same as outdoor rules with these exceptions:
1. Teams: teams consist of not more than 6 players on the court (this may be 5 field players and a goalkeeper or 6 field players with a “designated goalie”).
2. Push-in: for balls out of bounds over the sidelines, the ball is placed 1 meter inside the boards. The opponents must be 3 meters away from the player taking the push-in.
3. Free Push: all opposing team members must be 3 meters away from the player taking the free push. If the free push is within 3 meters of the opponents circle, players from both teams must be 3 meters away.
4. Push out: awarded when the ball goes out over the endline either a) by the attack, or b) unintentionally off the defense. The defense takes the push out from anywhere inside the circle. Opponents must be outside the circle and 3 meters away.
5. Penalty Corner: all defense must be behind the goalline and on the opposite side of the goalcage from where the corner is taken. Only the goalkeeper may be in the goalcage.
6. Offsides: there is no offsides in indoor hockey.
7. Fouls: A player may not:
a. hit the ball;
b. lift the ball except for a shot on goal;
c. hit at or play the ball in the air;
d. “jab” tackle or play the ball intentionally into an opponent;
e. play an aerial ball outside the circle with a hand or dead stick (player must wait for the ball to settle)
