1 IN 3

1 in 3 injuries were serious enough to miss practice or games ​
The risk of injury due to increased stress on knee and ankle joints is elevated on artificial turf systems that have less fiber and more infill.
                                                                              BALANCING SYSTEM COMPONENTS
We must maximize shock absorption while limiting vertical deformation.  This proper balance can improve foot stability, prevent ligament stress, and reduce player fatigue and injury. Our top quality fibers offer both softness and durability, while optimal yarn distribution and infill levels improve surface to foot interaction. A surface must allow players to start and stop quickly and safely in fast paced games.
