Field hockey is a sport practiced by two teams of 11 players. A game is divided into four parts of 15 minutes, 15 minutes apart at half time, 2 minutes after 1st and 3rd times, and played on a court with a goal at each top. The objective of the game is to try to score as many goals as possible, guiding the ball through a stick.
The game was "created" by the English in the late nineteenth century (although the tradition goes back to its origin to Persia a few millennia ago). That is why the sport soon became popular in the British colonies in the mid-twentieth century, even though it was banned for interfering with the training of archers responsible for national defense. In fact, India and Pakistan were, until the 1970s, the great powers of hockey (in the field, for the Portuguese, in the grass, for the Brazilians). But today the sport is popular in five continents and if we consider that it is also female sport, there are some nations that stand out: Netherlands, Australia, Argentina, China and Germany.

Ramaldense is currently, at the level of all sports federated in Portugal, the team with more national titles. Several other Portuguese teams have also achieved good results in European competitions, notably A.D. Lousada's victory in the European Cup Winners' Cup (div C), and the European Club Championships (div.C in 2010). In the current season the winner of the national senior men's championship (indoor and field) was the A. D. Lousada. This team has become the best Portuguese club in recent years, culminating in victories in the national hockey and indoor hockey championships in men's and women's seniors (2007/2008), having already won the 2004 indoor title , 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, and "outdoor" of 2008 and 2010.

A field hockey game consists of four times of 15 minutes each, during which two teams with eleven players try to score as many goals as possible. Goals are scored when the ball, which can only be touched with the flat side of the stick, completely crosses the opponent's goal line after being touched by an attacker's bat within the kick area.
A unique feature of field hockey is the obstruction rule. In most other sports protecting the ball with the body is not only allowed as it is part of the player's strategy. In field hockey, however, protecting the ball with the body is only allowed when the ball is in motion. In this way all players have the same chance to have control of the ball, when there is a dribble or a pass.
Other infractions include touching the ball with some part of the body (only goalkeeper is allowed to touch the ball with his hands or legs), use the stick in a dangerous manner and throw the ball dangerously towards a player.
