6. THE CHALLENGE

Two players meet on the same goal-line, one at the post and the other at the left, inside a 1.5m wide goal When they are given a visual signal, they both run towards a ball placed in the centre of the field.

The first player to take possession of it must dribble it into the opponent's circle and score. The player at the left post tries to score at the far goal, the player at the right post, once in possession of the ball, must dribble into the goal from which he started.

If there is an infringement of the rules of hockey in the mid field, the "offender" resumes the game without the ball, from a distance of 1/2 m behind the attacker. If the defender infringes the rules in his own circle he will be penalised by a stroke which is made with a push or flick (with the hands apart) from the centre of the field towards the empty goal.

Each time a goal is scored or the ball leaves the field over a back line, the two players change their starting-places. The winner is the first player to score two goals
