Hockey 5s is the FIH's fast, small-sided format — and the smartest way for schools to get into astro hockey. A Hockey 5s pitch needs roughly a quarter of the space and budget of a full field, with boards instead of sidelines keeping the ball always in play.
At ±48m × 32m or smaller, a Hockey 5s court fits on existing netball/tennis slabs and tight school sites.
Smaller footprint means smaller earthworks, turf and fencing bill — real astro hockey within reach.
More touches, more goals, more fun — Hockey 5s builds skills fast and keeps juniors engaged.
The same court serves five-a-side soccer, netball and PE with the right line markings.
Start with Hockey 5s now; extend to a half or full pitch as your programme and funding grow.
