Ocker Field
Ocker Field has been the home to the Michigan Field Hockey team since 1995. In the spring of 2003, Ocker Field received a new playing surface, replacing the original turf with SRI Sports' AstroTurf 1200. Friends and alumni of the University of Michigan field hockey program raised $500,000 to pay for the new surface. It is preferred around the world for field hockey and was installed at the U.S. Field Hockey National team's practice facility in Virginia Beach, Va.
Ocker Field is named for former University of Michigan teacher, athletics administrator and field hockey coach Phyllis Ocker and was formally dedicated on Oct. 8, 1995. Located next to Ocker Field is the Field Hockey facility which includes a training room with all the necessary training needs of the program; locker rooms; and a team room which has state of the art equipment for video and instructional sessions.
