===Indoor field hockey===
A popular variant of field hockey is [[indoor hockey]], which is 6-a-side (5-a-side during 2014–2015) using a field which is reduced to approximately {{convert|40|x|20|m|abbr=on}}. Although many of the rules remain the same, including obstruction and feet, there are several key variations: players may not raise the ball unless shooting at goal, players may not hit the ball, instead using pushes to transfer it, and the sidelines are replaced with solid barriers, from which the ball will rebound and remain in play.<ref name="International Hockey Federation">{{cite web |title=Field Hockey Rules |url=http://www.fih.ch/files/Sport/Rules/FIH-Rules%20of%20Hockey%202012-interactif.pdf |publisher=International Hockey Federation |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121224134122/http://www.fih.ch/files/Sport/Rules/FIH-Rules%20of%20Hockey%202012-interactif.pdf |archive-date=24 December 2012 |url-status=live }}</ref> In addition, the regulation guidelines for the indoor field hockey stick require a slightly thinner, lighter stick than an outdoor one.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.fih.ch/media/12236439/rules-of-indoor-hockey-2017.pdf |title=Rules of Indoor hockey 2017 |last=The International Hockey Federation |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170302151904/http://www.fih.ch/media/12236439/rules-of-indoor-hockey-2017.pdf |archive-date=2 March 2017 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
