Field hockey is a team sport structured in standard hockey format, in which each team plays with ten outfield players and a goalkeeper. Matches are played on grass, watered turf, artificial turf, synthetic field, or indoor boarded surface. Players wear a standard kit consisting of jersey, shorts or skirt, shoes and, for safety, shin guards and a mouthguard. Each player carries a hockey stick which is made of wood, carbon fibre, fibreglass, or a combination of carbon fibre and fibreglass in different quantities. Using their sticks, the team endeavours to drive the round hockey ball, made of hard plastic, towards the rival team's goal. The stick has two sides; one rounded and one flat. Only the flat face of the stick is allowed to progress the ball. During play, goalkeepers are the only players allowed to touch the ball with any part of their body. A player's hand is considered part of the stick if holding the stick. If the ball is "played" with the rounded part of the stick, it will result in a penalty. Goalkeepers often have a different design of stick; they also cannot play the ball with the round side of their stick. The match is won by the team that scores the most goals.
