Field Hockey Fields for the Elite

FieldTurf surfaces make for a better, "fast track" game, with smoother play than on natural grass. Field hockey teams who play on FieldTurf have seen a spike in recruitment because the surfaces offer a faster pace, unmatched resiliency, superior energy restitution, and a more appealing environment for athletes at all levels.

FieldTurf is an International Hockey Federation (FIH) approved supplier. The FIH requires the use of approved surfaces for specific international tournaments and maintains performance and test requirements for synthetic turf pitches. FieldTurf meets and exceeds these requirements.

It’s been said that a carpet-type system is the ideal surface for field hockey. We beg to differ – and our clients agree. There are over 200 organizations equipped to play field hockey on their FieldTurf surfaces in North America alone.
