Änderung der Hallenregeln

Der Internationale Hockeyverband (FIH) hat heute folgendes veröffentlich.

Rules of Indoor Hockey

Based on a recommendation from the FIH Rules Committee, the FIH Executive Board has agreed a change to the Rules of Indoor Hockey, to take place with immediate effect.

Rule 2.3f currently states that: -

Players must leave or enter the pitch for substitution purposes within 3 metres of the centre-line on a side of the pitch agreed with the umpires.

A goalkeeper who is wearing full protective equipment may take part in a substitution across the side-board near the goal they are defending.

The guidance in italics is deleted and the Rule now will read: -

Players must leave or enter the pitch for substitution purposes within 3 metres of the centre-line on a side of the pitch agreed with the umpires.

Ab sofort ist damit auch in Österreich der Torwarttausch in Tornähe seitlich über die Bande verboten und der Torwart muss wie jeder andere Spieler auch in einem Bereich von 3 Metern zur Mittellinie auf der Seite, auf der die eigenen Mannschaftsbänke stehen, getauscht werden.
