Frequently asked questions
We have listed the frequently asked questions about hockey goals for you here.
What is the difference between Hockey 5s and traditional hockey?
Hockey 5s is played with five players per team on a smaller pitch, whereas traditional hockey is 11-a-side on a full-sized pitch. In 5s, the rules have been adapted: no circle is needed to score and restarts are quicker, making the game more intense and technical.
What are the dimensions of a Hockey 5s pitch?
A Hockey 5s pitch is officially 40 meters long and 23.7 meters wide. The pitch has a halfway line, quarter lines, and a penalty spot 6.4 meters from the goal line.
Hoeveel boarding heb je nodig voor een Hockey 5s veld?
Voor een compleet Hockey 5s-veld van 40 x 23,7 meter zijn 60 boardingsegmenten nodig. De SKOR Hockey Five Pro™ bestaat uit segmenten van 2 meter die zonder gereedschap aan elkaar worden gekoppeld.
Can existing accommodation be used for Hockey 5s?
Yes, existing hockey goals measuring 3.66 x 2.14 meters can still be used. Existing artificial turf pitches can also be easily adapted with markings and boarding.
Is Hockey 5s suitable for youth and beginners?
Yes, Hockey 5s was developed to make the game more accessible. The lower number of players, smaller field dimensions, and emphasis on technique make it attractive for youth, beginners, and recreational players.
Waarvan is de Hockey 5s boarding van SKOR gemaakt?

Hockey 5s
Hockey is constantly evolving. One of the most striking trends is Hockey 5s: a fast, compact form of play that is gaining popularity worldwide. With smaller fields, five players per team, and a high tempo, Hockey 5s offers a dynamic playing experience that perfectly matches the needs of the new generation of athletes. Read on and discover how SKOR can help you set up a fully-fledged playing field for Hockey 5s.
What is Hockey 5s?
Hockey 5s stands for speed, skills, and action. With adapted rules, such as scoring without a circle and quick restarts, the emphasis is on intensity and technique. The game requires less time and space, making it ideal for clubs and municipalities that want to use their sports facilities more flexibly.
Benefits of Hockey 5s for clubs and municipalities
Hockey 5s is attractive for several reasons:
- Efficient use of space: play on part of an existing artificial grass pitch
- Lower costs: no full field needed
- More fun: less downtime, more action
- Flexible deployment: suitable for training, clinics, and events
Hockey 5s thus perfectly caters to athletes who need a more flexible form of hockey. This helps clubs retain and regain members.
Boarding for Hockey 5s
A well-equipped Hockey 5s field requires boarding that supports the intensity of the game. The boarding keeps the ball in play, provides quick rebounds, and creates a dynamic playing experience. SKOR supplies three variants, each with its own application and specifications.
Hockey 5s Urban Flex
The Urban Flex variant is ideal for recreational use, such as training, clinics, and events. Thanks to its light weight of 6.5 kg per board, this system is easy to lift and can be installed in approximately ten minutes. Clubs that want to respond flexibly to Hockey 5s will find an accessible solution in this type of boarding, which can also be upgraded to FIH Class 1 and 2 levels.
Hockey 5s Pro
The Pro variant has been developed for official matches and meets the requirements of the FIH (Class 1 and 2). This model offers the right balance between sturdiness and mobility. At 7 kg per board, a field can be installed quickly, with the reinforced composite construction guaranteeing durability. The Pro version has a foam pad on top, which provides extra safety and comfort for players.
Hockey 5s Pro Elite
The Pro Elite variant is the heavy, permanent solution for sports facilities that want to offer Hockey 5s structurally. With a weight of 15 kg per board, this version offers maximum stability and lifespan. The Pro Elite is made from recycled plastic, finished with eco-plastic, and has a foam pad on the top.
Unique to this system is the possibility to place branding or commercial messages on the boarding, so that sport and sponsorship go hand in hand.
Setting up a complete Hockey 5s field
Setting up a Hockey 5s field is surprisingly simple. Besides the boarding, hardly any extra hockey materials are needed, because standard size goals can simply be used. This makes the transition accessible for clubs and municipalities.
For associations that want to expand their facilities or replace existing goals, SKOR offers a wide range of high-quality hockey goals. This way, you can realize a fully-fledged and future-proof Hockey 5s field with minimal resources.
Professional hockey goals from SKOR
SKOR's hockey goals are available in different versions and meet the highest quality requirements. For Hockey 5s, a large hockey goal of 3.66 x 2.14 meters is used. Within our range, you can choose from three types of goals:
- Standard hockey goal: suitable for both training and matches. This goal offers an excellent price-quality ratio and is also available with transport wheels for easy movement.
- Pro Plus hockey goal: similar to the standard model, but with different net attachment options. This goal is equipped with concrete plywood and rubber, which provides sound and impact damping.
- EHL models: developed for the highest level and used in the Euro Hockey League (EHL). Within this series, we offer three top models: Ultima EHL, EHL Extreme, and EHL X. The backboards of these goals are suitable for sponsorship, which can generate extra income for associations.
Ready for the future with Hockey 5s
Hockey 5s offers associations and municipalities the chance to introduce a modern form of play with limited resources. With SKOR's boarding and hockey goals, you can easily create a complete and professional playing field that meets the wishes of current and future hockey players.
