About Foot Hockey

Foot Hockey is played on a hard surface (Los Alisos plays on the basketball courts)

In a typical game, there are 6 players on each team (3 offensive players, 2 defensive players and a goalie)

Players can use their sticks to pass the puck to teammates

Players can use their sticks to shoot the puck into the opposing team’s net

Foot Hockey Game Play Rules Players may not hold the

puck in their hands

Players must use ONLY their stick to redirect the puck (do not use feet to kick the puck)

If puck goes out of bounds (sidelines/endlines), the play is stopped and the other team gets the puck to pass back in bounds.

Players must hold onto the hockey stick with two hands

Hockey stick can not move upward above the knee

Play is stopped if the goal is knocked out of position
