Question: When are free hits awarded?
About the article "Field hockey", section "Free hits".

Candidate passages:
Free hits are awarded when offences are committed outside the scoring circles (the term 'free hit' is standard usage but the ball need not be hit).
The ball may be hit, pushed or lifted in any direction by the team offended against.
The ball can be lifted from a free hit but not by hitting, you must flick or scoop to lift from a free hit.
(In previous rules versions hits in the area outside the circle in open play have been permitted but lifting one direction from a free hit prohibited).
Opponents must move from the ball when a free hit is awarded.
A free hit must be taken from within playing distance of the place of the offence for which it was awarded and the ball must be stationary when the free-hit is taken.
As mentioned above, a 15 m hit is awarded if an attacking player commits a foul forward of that line, or if the ball passes over the back line off an attacker.
These free hits are taken in line with where the foul was committed (taking a line parallel with the sideline between where the offence was committed, or the ball went out of play).
When an attacking free hit is awarded within 5 m of the circle everyone including the person taking the penalty must be five metres from the circle and everyone apart from the person taking the free hit must be five metres away from the ball.
When taking an attacking free hit the ball may not be hit straight into the circle if you are within your attacking 23 metre area (25 yard area).
It must travel 5 metres before going in.
Points can be made either by scoring or by an opponent’s fault.
When the ball contacts the floor (the bottom of the trampoline or the inflatables) within the court boundaries (the outer safety zone is out), the team on the opposite side of the net is awarded a score.
The safety border around the trampolines is a free zone.
On this “bossawall” the ball may bounce or roll.
When the ball lays still on the bossawall, the point goes to the oScoring with volley touch:1 point: when the ball hits the opponents playing area.3 points: when the ball is played directly in the opponent’s trampoline area.
Scoring with soccer touch (any part of the body except hands):3 points: when the ball hits the opponents playing area.5 points: when the ball is played directly in the opponent’s trampoline area.
The team that scored serves for the next point.
If the team that scored served in the previous point, the same player serves again.
If the team that scored did not serve the previous point, the players of the team rotate their position on the court in a clockwise manner.
The game continues, with the first team to score 25 points (and be two points ahead) awarded the set.
Three sets are played in one match.

In association football (soccer), a penalty kick is awarded to the opponent when a direct-free-kick foul has been committed by a team within its own penalty area.
In field hockey, a penalty stroke or a penalty corner is awarded after a foul.
Free throws are the equivalent of the penalty shot in basketball; free throws are much more common than penalty shots in other sports, due to the much higher rate of scoring in that game. 
Ships are fragile things.
When a ship suffers hits, the crew is responsible for fixing it by tacking or sinking (getting killed).
