What are the dimensions for an 11 a-side hockey pitch?

The dimensions are 91.40 metres in length and 55 metres wide, this is called the field of play (FOP).  The playing surface must continue to create run off areas for two metres at the back line and 1 metre at the side lines, with an additional unobstructed one metre of hard standing for both areas.  This will make the total area outside of the FOP to be two metres at the side lines and three metres at the backlines – these are the minimum acceptable requirements, with the total recommended areas being five metres at the back line, and four metres at the side lines.
