SPORTS FOR THE LAYPERSON
In field hockey, what is a bully?
Contrary to what you may think, a bully in field hockey is not an overly aggressive, oft penalized player. A bully is actually a neutral re-start to play following a stop in the action, much like a face-off in ice hockey. The ball is placed on the ground between two players, one from each team. The players alternate taps to the ground with taps to the flat side of their opponent’s stick, three times, before going for the ball.
