Solution
Obstruction is a huge part of field hockey and is a direct contribution to the high frequency of whistle blows during games. In the most general terms, obstruction is called when the ball is shielded from an opposing player who is trying to get the ball. Players often use their own bodies or sticks to block the ball, but third party obstruction is also called when a player runs between her teammate (who has possession of the ball) and an opponent trying to get the ball, essentially block the opponent's path.
