GreenFields FIH certified fields for hockey

Hockey is one of the most demanding sports for players - it requires speed, agility and strength, which means that the surface it is played on, must comply with certain standards. Artificial turf has become an essential part of field hockey. It provides a durable, quick and responsive surface, creating an excellent field for any level of field hockey. The crucial factors here are the type of material and fibres used as well as the technical properties and quality required of the field.

GreenFields has many years of experience in the design and construction of professional water based and sand based artificial hockey pitches, and is proud to be able to install these in line with the strict standards set by the FIH (International Hockey Federation).

Our in-house R&D team maintains a strong dedication and commitment to developing and implementing ground breaking technologies and environmentally friendly systems. GreenFields hockey systems benefit from this investment ensuring high quality, durable fields.

WATER BASED
HOCKEY PITCH

GreenFields is proud to play a role in improving the hockey experience for players around the world. Our innovative systems are tested extensively to meet governing body regulations and have been proven to maximise playing characteristics.

Our elite artificial water based GreenFields TX surfaces are developed for fast-playing modern hockey. They have incredible player reviews and are used by top international players around the world. The GreenFields TX product range is well appreciated by (semi) professional players for taking the game to a next level.

Reduce the fresh water footprint with GreenFields TX

During a hockey match, an average of 6,000 litres of water is used to irrigate the pitch. This is enough drinking water for a 3-person household for 6.5 years! In most cases, fresh water is used to irrigate the pitch, although water is scarce in several parts of the word.

Improving water retention of our hockey products is one of our key focus points, as it results in substantial water savings, making half time irrigation redundant and instantly saving many litres of fresh water. An optimal water retention results in a smooth and consistent playing surface, offering fast play and enhancing the ball surface interaction and player surface interaction of the pitch.

SAND BASED
HOCKEY PITCH

Sand-based hockey fields are ideal for multifunctional use. The fields meet all requirements for regular hockey sport and are affordable. GreenFields has an attractive solution that is suitable for both training and matches.

Sand-filled hockey fields

Sand-filled hockey fields are made of durable fibers that are held upright by the sand (infill) inside the mat. These are the most popular fields to date as well as the most flexible: they can be used for a number of different purposes.

This type of field satisfies all of the requirements for conventional field hockey. Generally speaking, installing this type of field offers the most economic advantages. The average lifespan of this type of field is approximately 13-15 years (when well maintained).

Semi-water fields

These fields have a denser fiber structure (.7-.8 in high), meaning that less sand is needed. Most semi-water fields are (briefly) sprayed with water prior to matches and training sessions. This gives the ball more speed and improves the overall quality of the game.

The average lifespan of this type of field is approximately 11-12 years (when well maintained).

FIH Preferred Supplier

GreenFields is an preferred supplier for the FIH (International Hockey Federation). Our hockey turf fields have been designed to comply with FIH global and national classification standards.
