Not hockey, soccer, but not the big field, the small one. (Similar to a handball field), but believe me: it's a lot faster and tougher, than the "big one".
(I had a match in a tournament where the amboulance had to make 2 turns (in one match), because of my "activity", altough I didn't harm anybody on purpose, but if they are unable to understand, that i won't hold back just to enable them to score... :))

Sounds almost as hard on the players as Lacrosse or rugby. I know a little about soccer or "football" as the rest of the world calls it.

I don't know anything about football on a pitch as small as you play.

Totally ignorant.

At such close quarters if there are more than four a side, and they run flat out with the kicked ball, it must be rough.

Teams of 3-4-5 plus goalkeeper. Depends on agreement. Believe me, requires better ball control, because the pace is faster, more speed, because there are only 3-4 or a max. 5 players on field even the offensive players have to defend and the defensives to attack. So it requires also stamina. 5+1 fit very good onto that kind of ground and it gets even more interesting if you don't play in a hall on plastic, but on dirt or grass :)
