Team Shelters
The enclosed bench area upgrade top D1 programs are adding
Your bench area is an open row of seats with zero weather protection. Top programs are adding enclosed bench areas — but a full facility renovation costs $100K+. Our team shelters deliver the same enclosed bench area experience for $9,895. Tinted polycarbonate panels block UV and rain while maintaining full field visibility. Mill finish is standard, and powder coat in your school colors is the add-on. Rolls into position in minutes. This is the fastest way to upgrade your program's game-day presence.
- Polycarbonate panels block UV and rain — full field visibility
- Mill finish is standard. Powder coat in your school colors is the add-on.
- Optional custom graphics — your team logo or mascot across the back
- Built-in aluminum bench with backrest
- Integrated wheels — rolls into position in minutes
- 5 sizes: 8' to 24' (seat 5-16 players)
- Portable: share between fields or store off-season

Press Boxes & Film Towers
The overhead angle your coaching staff needs for tactical review
Field hockey is a low-to-the-ground, high-speed game — ground-level film can't capture formations, defensive shape, or set piece execution. Our portable aluminum film towers give your coaching staff the elevated perspective that transforms game review. Rolls on transport wheels — four casters, two locking — sets up in minutes, and built to the same aircraft-grade aluminum standard as our shelters. Essential for programs investing in video analysis and recruiting content.
- Elevated camera platform for tactical film + recruiting content
- Transport wheels — four casters, two locking
- Aircraft-grade aluminum construction
- Stable in wind with ground anchor system
- Multiple height options available

Backstop Systems
Keep shots contained and spectators protected
Field hockey shots come off composite sticks at 80+ mph — a miss behind the cage puts spectators at risk. Our 20' tall aluminum backstop systems with commercial nylon netting contain errant shots, keep balls on the pitch, and reduce game stoppages. The DS-65 (65') is $3,099, the DS-90 (90') is $8,199, and the DS-120 (120') is $10,999. 4-inch aircraft-grade aluminum columns won't rust or need repainting, and the built-in hoist system makes net maintenance a one-person job. A must-have for programs on multi-use turf complexes.
- 20' tall aircraft-grade 6061 aluminum columns
- #21 nylon netting, 5" square mesh
- Built-in hoist system for easy net maintenance
- Protects spectators from 80+ mph shots
- Keeps balls in play on multi-use turf complexes
Why Top Programs Choose PitchEquipment
Built in our own shop, not imported. The same aluminum as the national brands, in your colors, with your mark on it.
Recruiting-Ready Aesthetics
Visiting recruits notice facility quality instantly. An enclosed, color-matched bench area signals investment in your athletes — the kind of detail that separates your program on a campus visit.
All-Season Fall Protection
August heat? Polycarbonate blocks 99% of UV. October rain? Full overhead and side coverage. November cold? Wind protection that keeps your reserves game-ready. One shelter handles the entire season.
Custom School Colors
Add powder-coat finishing in any color you like — there is no upcharge for matching your school or conference colors, whatever they are. Priced in the designer alongside custom graphics.
Built to Your Spec
We manufacture and ship from our own facility in North Carolina, so a size or a color that is not in anybody’s catalog is a conversation rather than a special order. Pricing comes from us or from your dealer, whichever way you buy.
Portable for Multi-Field Complexes
Integrated wheels let grounds crew roll shelters between game and practice fields in minutes. Store off-season to protect against vandalism. One purchase serves your entire complex.
Field Hockey Shelter FAQ
What size shelter do I need for a field hockey roster?
Most field hockey rosters carry 25 players. Our 24' shelter seats up to 16 players at a time — more than enough for reserves and staff, since substitutes rotate frequently. Many programs pair two shelters (home and visitor) at 20' or 24' each. We'll help you size it to your roster and bench area dimensions.
How does the shelter handle fall weather — heat early season, rain and cold late season?
That's exactly what it's built for. The tinted polycarbonate panels block 99% of UV during hot August and September practices, while providing full rain and wind protection as the season moves into October and November. The panels don't yellow, crack, or degrade — they're the same material used in hurricane-rated skylights.
How does this compare to building a permanent press box and bench area?
A permanent, built-in press box with enclosed bench structures runs $50,000-$75,000+ depending on its size — plus architectural plans, permits, a foundation, and months of construction. And it only serves one field. Two mill-finish shelters plus a ProView press box are $59,589 to $63,427 before freight: two ES-20s at $15,045 plus ProView at $29,499 is $59,589, and two ES-24s at $16,964 plus ProView is $63,427. It ships in 4-6 weeks, and the entire setup rolls to whichever field has a game that day. Most programs share turf with lacrosse and soccer — a portable setup covers all of them.
Will this make a difference for recruiting?
Absolutely. Visiting recruits notice facility quality immediately. An enclosed, color-matched bench area signals that your program invests in its athletes. It's a visible, tangible upgrade that recruits and parents see on every campus visit — and at $9,895 it's one of the most cost-effective facility improvements you can make.
Can I move the shelter between fields or store it off-season?
Yes — portability is a core feature. Integrated wheels let your grounds crew roll the shelter into position in minutes. Programs with multi-field complexes move shelters between game fields and practice fields as needed. In the off-season, roll them into storage to protect against vandalism and extend their lifespan.
