Field Hockey playing surfaces vary depending on the level of play.
The majority of games are played on grass or on synthetic turf surfaces, depending on who is running the game and the availabaility of the surfaces. Most stronger countries in the sport have turfs enough for everyone to use, while those who are not as strong, see the sport as a minor one only or who cannot normally afford a lot of them use grass or sometimes packed dirt surfaces.
Most grades of field hockey above the junior-school level play on artificial surfaces like astroturf; for most national and international games, it is actually required that the surface be one of these turfs.
