First played in preparation for the 2014 Youth Olympic Games, Hockey5s is a super-fast, shorter format of hockey. Hockey5s is an invasion game played between two teams with 4 field players and a goalkeeper in a much smaller pitch than the normal 11-a-side version of field hockey.

Field Size: 40m x 23.7m 

11-a-side Field Hockey Field Size: 91.4m x 55m

Hockey5s incorporates all the skills and game principles of Hockey. With fewer players, less space and rebound boards on all 4 sides of the court, Hockey5s also presents a range of different tactical options to other formats.
