Hockey Competition
Higher-performance pathway for competition-oriented hockey venues where exact system and installed-field evidence may be required.

Hockey Turf Systems
Hockey surfaces built around the playing programme.
Project-configured hockey turf for competition venues, clubs, schools and shared-use facilities. Surface selection is based on the required playing programme, water strategy, use intensity, base, drainage, climate, maintenance and evidence pathway.
Four project pathways
Choose the hockey programme before the surface.
The public pathways organise the project by use. The exact turf construction and performance evidence are confirmed only after the project requirements are known.
Hockey Club
Commercial club and academy pathway balancing hockey response, utilisation, maintenance and lifecycle value.
Project configuredHockey School & Community
Durable pathway for education, community and training facilities with practical operating requirements.
Project configuredHockey Multi-Use
Shared-use pathway where hockey must be coordinated with secondary sports, line marking and facility operations.
Project configuredSelection logic
What determines the right hockey turf?
Hockey surface selection needs to account for ball response, water strategy, use pattern and the complete field construction. A product label alone is not enough.
Playing programme
Competition, club, academy, school, community or shared-use.
Water strategy
Dry, reduced-water or irrigated operation must be defined before final selection.
Usage intensity
Training load, match use and shared-use hours.
Base & drainage
New construction, conversion or replacement condition.
Climate
Rainfall, heat, UV, humidity, coastal exposure and seasonal conditions.
Maintenance model
Available brushing, cleaning, irrigation and specialist maintenance capability.
Evidence requirement
Any FIH, consultant, tender or installed-field testing requirement for the exact project.
Complete surface system
The hockey surface is one part of the field.
The final hockey system may include the turf surface, elastic or shock layer where required, drainage, prepared base, edge restraint, line marking and irrigation interfaces where applicable. These elements are reviewed as one field system.
Supply model
LUTHVAR is supplied on a wholesale and project basis. Civil works, drainage construction, installation, testing and local compliance remain project-specific and are confirmed in the project scope.
Project brief
What we need to review a hockey field.
A strong field brief lets the playing surface, water strategy, civil interfaces and evidence pathway be reviewed together.

Evidence control
FIH requirements are project and system specific.
Where FIH-level performance or field certification is required, the proposed turf system and the finished installed field must be reviewed against the current applicable requirements. A product certificate or a product-family name does not automatically certify a completed project field.
Hockey project brief
Send the project conditions before locking the turf.
We can then identify the appropriate LUTHVAR hockey pathway and confirm the exact technical configuration at quotation stage.
