- One free hit by the team fouled from the centre of the 60 yard line nearest the goal of the team that has fouled.
- The team awarded the penalty are free to place themselves where they choose. The free hit shall be taken in one stroke with the intent to score. If the player taking the hit mishits, misdirects or misses the ball, he or any member of his team may only hit at the ball with a half shot, that is with the head of the stick starting the downward swing below the shoulder of the hitter, until the ball has been hit by a player of the team facing penalty. However, the stick may be raised above the shoulder to stop or re-direct the ball.
- The team defending the hit must be 40 yards from the Penalty 4 line until the ball is hit or hit at. This will be marked by a dot, 20 yards from the backline and in line with the centre of the goal which is to be used by the umpires as a point of reference.
