2008/ 2009 Rules: Download a copy of the FIH 2008/ 2009 Rules of Hockey. PLEASE NOTE - Free Hit Rule Implementation: That the recommendation as follows from Hockey Australia be adopted by Hockey Queensland. Hockey Australia recommends to all State and Regional Associations that the change to the FIH rules is adopted for all competitions. FIH State : One of the objectives of the FIH and therefore of the Hockey Rules Board (HRB) is to decrease the number and duration of interruptions to the flow of play and to increase the length of time the ball is in active play. A “self-pass” from a free hit has therefore been introduced. It enables the player taking the free hit to play the ball again after taking the free hit which will encourage free-flowing hockey.
