The goal structure in field hockey is 3.66 metres (12.0 ft) wide by 2.14 metres (7.0 ft) tall. Like association football, a goal is scored when the ball passes completely over the goal line under the crossbar and between the goal posts. Nets are required to hold the ball in.[4] A goal is only scored if shot from with a semicircle 14.63 metres (48.0 ft) from the goal.[4]
