Indoor field hockey differs from outdoor hockey in several ways:

• The playing pitch is smaller than the outdoor pitch.
• Side-boards mark the sidelines helping to keep the ball in play.
• The goals are smaller
• A team consists of 5 field players and 1 goalkeeper on the pitch, with a maximum of 10-12 players on a team.
• The players may not hit the ball, but only push it or deflect it, and may not raise the ball except in the shooting circle, with the purpose of scoring a goal.
• Players typically play with a lighter, quicker stick specially made for indoor use.
