Field hockey is a fast-paced team sport played outdoors on grass or artificial turf, using a stick to pass and strike a small hard ball. Matches involve quick sprints, rapid direction changes and close control, with players working in tight spaces where sticks and the ball can travel at speed. It is different from ice hockey and roller hockey, which are played on ice or hard indoor surfaces and use a puck rather than a ball.
ActivitySure can cover field hockey on an amateur, non-professional basis when you are taking part abroad. This applies to organised matches entered on a non-professional basis, rather than professional competition. Even in well-managed settings, field hockey carries a risk of impact injuries due to the speed of play and the use of sticks.

Destination Insight
Where is popular to travel for hockey?
Field hockey is widely played in countries with strong club and international scenes. India has a long-standing history in the sport, while the Netherlands is well known for its competitive domestic leagues and large participation base. Australia also has a strong field hockey culture, with clubs and competitions across many regions and a busy tournament calendar.
Here's why field hockey travel insurance matters:
Field hockey can involve collisions, trips and sudden stops, as well as impact from the ball or accidental stick contact. Common injuries include bruising, cuts, sprains and fractures, particularly to hands, ankles and shins. If you are injured while playing abroad, medical treatment or repatriation may be required. Having appropriate travel insurance in place helps protect you financially if something goes wrong during your trip.
Helpful travel tips
- Follow all instructions and rules set by umpires, coaches or organisers
- Wear appropriate safety equipment, including shin guards and a mouthguard where requiredUse suitable footwear for the playing surface to reduce slips and ankle injuries
- Keep your head up and stay aware of stick and ball movement around you
- Avoid reckless tackles and pull out of challenges if you are out of position
