The Field Hockey Dad’s Decoder Ring
A Maryland-specific field hockey guide for dads trying to follow their daughters’ high school games.
- For
- Maryland parents learning their daughter’s field hockey game
- Worth noticing
- It combines NFHS rules with MPSSAA details and is marked updated for the 2026 season.
Field notes
The guide organizes the sport around the questions a spectator is likely to have during a game: why the whistle blew, what a penalty corner means, and where a daughter is playing. It gives practical measurements—including the 16-yard scoring circle and 7-yard stroke spot—and distinguishes ordinary field hockey rules from Maryland-specific details. Comparisons to football, lacrosse, soccer, and ice hockey provide entry points without treating the sports as interchangeable.
