Each team also has a goalkeeper. Substitutions can be made at virtually any time, and any number of times.

Twelve men's and 12 women's teams, with 16 athletes (11 players and five substitutes) on each team.

The hockey pitches are 91.4m long and 55m wide. The goals at each end are 3.66m wide and 2.14m high. Each goal is surrounded by a D-shaped shooting circle. The penalty spot at either end is 6.4m from the goal.
