If a field hockey goalkeeper goes for a blockslide and trips up the attacker would they receive a foul against them

In field hockey, a goalkeeper's primary purpose is to protect the goal from incoming shots. Goalkeepers are often required to use their bodies to block shots, which can sometimes result in contact with the attacking player.

There are specific rules and regulations regarding goalkeeper's blockslides in field hockey to protect both the keeper and the attacker. If a goalkeeper makes a legal blockslide and trips up the attacker, it is not considered a foul.

Key Considerations for a Legal Blockslide:

The goalkeeper must slide with their stick extended in front of them.
The goalkeeper's feet must be together during the slide.
The goalkeeper must not lift their stick off the ground or make any sudden movements towards the attacker.
The goalkeeper must not make contact with the ball first.

If a goalkeeper fails to meet any of these criteria, it is considered an illegal blockslide, and a foul may be called against them. The penalty for an illegal blockslide can range from a free hit to a penalty corner, depending on the severity of the infraction.

Can a goalkeeper use their stick to check an attacker's stick? No, it is illegal to use a stick to check or obstruct an attacker's stick.
Can a goalkeeper leave the goal area to make a blockslide? Yes, but they must return to the goal area immediately after making the slide.
Can a goalkeeper slide into an attacker who is not in possession of the ball? No, it is illegal to slide into an attacker who does not have the ball.
What is the penalty for an illegal blockslide? The penalty for an illegal blockslide can range from a free hit to a penalty corner.
Can a goalkeeper be penalized for tripping an attacker who is off balance? Yes, a goalkeeper can be penalized if they trip an attacker who is off balance due to an illegal blockslide.
