How to Create a Home Hockey Training Space with Lokflor
Dreaming of improving your hockey skills from the comfort of your own home? With a Lokflor Hockey Skills Mat, it’s easier than ever to create a safe, effective, and professional-quality training space. Whether you’re practising ball control, passing, or agility, Lokflor’s modular flooring gives you the perfect base to develop your game—all without leaving home.
1. Choose the Right Space
The first step to building your home hockey training area is selecting a suitable location. Look for a flat, level surface such as a garage, patio, or paved area. Lokflor’s interlocking sports tiles are designed to fit any space, whether you’re setting up a small skills zone or a full-size training area. Because the tiles are self-draining and weather-resistant, they work perfectly both indoors and outdoors.
2. Pick the Perfect Lokflor Skills Mat
Lokflor offers a variety of Hockey Skills Mats designed for players of all ages and skill levels. From compact rectangular mats for quick drills to large square mats for full stick movement, there’s a size to suit your space and training goals.
- Durable, UV-resistant polymer tiles
- Multi-directional flex technology to reduce fatigue
- Non-slip texture for control and safety
- Portable, interlocking design for easy setup and storage
3. Add Essential Training Equipment
Once your mat is in place, enhance your setup with a few simple training tools:
- Cones or markers – for dribbling drills and agility work
- Rebound boards or walls – for passing and first-touch practice
- Mini goals or targets – to improve accuracy and finishing
- Timer or stopwatch – for interval-based workouts
This combination turns your Lokflor Skills Mat into a complete training station right at home.
4. Master the Basics with Simple Drills
With your space ready, it’s time to get moving! Try these quick and effective drills:
- Close ball control – weave around cones while keeping the ball close
- Push pass repetition – practise passing accuracy against a rebound board
- Reverse stick handling – perfect your off-side control
- Speed and reaction – have a partner feed balls while you react quickly
These exercises can all be done safely on a Lokflor Hockey Mat, designed to mimic real turf ball movement and feel.
5. Keep It Weather-Proof and Low Maintenance
Lokflor sports flooring is made for South African weather. The self-draining design prevents water buildup, while the UV-protected tiles resist fading and cracking. A quick rinse is all it takes to keep your surface looking and performing like new—no sanding, repainting, or resurfacing needed.
