DALTON, Georgia | AstroTurf.com | August 27th, 2025 — Fall also means field hockey season – and it all starts on AstroTurf. Across the country, elite programs are stepping back onto our fields, ready for another year of fast play and fierce competition.
The opening slate is loaded. Duke and UNC-Chapel Hill are set to write another chapter in their storied rivalry. Maryland is aiming to prove once again why it’s a national powerhouse. Saint Joseph’s brings one of the most exciting teams in the country to the turf. And they’re not alone – so many of the game’s biggest names are proud to call AstroTurf home.
Field hockey is a sport built on speed, control, and precision – and that’s exactly what our systems are designed to deliver. A truer ball roll, faster transitions, and surfaces tailored for elite-level play mean athletes can focus fully on execution. It’s why so many top programs trust AstroTurf for their home advantage.
Every crisp pass, every quick break, every drag flick that finds the back of the cage – it all depends on a surface built for championship-level hockey. We take pride in knowing that our technology helps bring those highlight moments to life.
From Durham to Ann Arbor, from Chapel Hill to Lynchburg, this season’s biggest games will be played on AstroTurf. The pushback is here, the pace is fast, and the future of field hockey continues to grow on our fields.
