Raise money for your
field hockey
fundraiser the easy way!
One of
the world's most popular
games, field hockey is
also one of the world's
oldest competitive team
sports.
Evidence of games played
with a ball and stick
date back over 4,000
years to the Nile Valley
Egypt, and similar games
were played by
civilizations ranging
from the Greeks and
Romans to the Ethiopians
and Aztecs.
The modern game of field
hockey evolved in
England during the 19th
century and led to the
creation of the sport's
international
federation, the
Fédération
Internationale de Hockey
(FIH) in 1924.
After Constance Applebee
introduced the sport to
the United States in
1901, the United States
Field Hockey Association
was formed in 1922.
The Olympic Games
included men's field
hockey on the official
program for the first
time in 1908, and
women's field hockey
earned a spot on the
program in 1980.
Hockey's most coveted
international prize, the
World Cup is held every
four years with 12 men's
and 12 women's teams
competing for the title
of World Champion. The
first men's World Cup
was played in 1971 with
the women's event added
in 1974.
