Performance

SIS Pitches is a FIH Certified Turf Manufacturer and FIH Certified Field Builder.

Water-based Hockey Pitches

SIS Pitches manage the complete sports surface project, from design, construction and installation, right through to pitch to maintenance and aftercare.

Water-based surfaces are designed for high-performance hockey. They offer excellent ball-surface and player-surface characteristics, in part due to the reduced friction. They support fast-paced play, making them the go-to solution for top-level training and competition venues.

Designed to meet FIH (International Hockey Federation) standards, our water-based hockey systems are the preferred choice of numerous top universities, elite clubs, and international venues. They deliver unmatched performance, speed, safety and longevity.

Our water-based hockey pitches use our specially developed Xcel Ultra carpet, which is produced entirely at our UK manufacturing facility.

Sand-dressed Hockey Pitches

Sand-dressed pitches offer an excellent balance of affordability and performance. They are generally more cost-effective to build and run than a water-based pitch, as they do not require a specialist irrigation system. They provide a smooth, consistent playing surface and allow for good ball control and dynamic skills. Whilst sand-dressed surfaces provide hockey-specific quality, they are also ideal for both multi-sport use.

Our sand-dressed hockey pitches combine durability and performance, making them popular for schools, universities, and community-based sports facilities. Manufactured in our UK facility, our carpet meets FIH standards, ensuring a reliable and safe surface for all levels of play.

Dry-Turf Hockey Pitch

Our innovative dry-turf hockey system, Xcel Eco, was developed as an alternative to water-based pitches.

Unlike traditional dry-turf systems, our surface eliminates the need for any kind of wetting or irrigation, while closely mimicking the feel and performance of a traditional water-based pitch.

Engineered and manufactured in the UK, this system delivers exceptional playability and consistency, meeting FIH Innovation standards.
