Field Hockey in the Olympics

Field Hockey is basically the skill of knowing how to use a stick with a crook on the end of it used to hit a small ball. The field is ultimately a rectangle, and there are of course sidelines and back lines. Of course, the goal lines are between the goal posts. The idea is to get the small ball through the goal posts to obtain points. There are eleven players allowed on the field.
A match is really two 35 minute periods of playing and then there's a break of five minutes. A team scores by initially getting the ball through the goal posts and they cannot pass over marked circles on the playing field when shooting for the goal posts. The match or game is finished when one team reaches the amount of goals needed to win. There is equipment that must be worn by the goal keeper, which consists of a shield worn over the front and around the sides of their shoes to allow them to kick the ball away from the goal. The goal keeper must also wear a helmet to protect their face and head. The other players wear protective gear as well, although it is not the same as what the goal keeper wears. And of course, their nations colors or who they are representing is worn as well.
