Lacrosse
Predator and UltraBlade systems for NCAA, NLL, PLL, and high school lacrosse programs that share the field with football and soccer. Tested ball-bounce ranges, slit-film backing, and a shock pad we never skip above the club level. Every fiber extruded in Dadeville, AL. Every roll tufted in Chatsworth, GA.
3 SPORTS / ONE SURFACE · WORLD LACROSSE BOUNCE · 8YR WARRANTY · 11–13 YR FIELD LIFE
Two systems. One sport.
Predator is the dual-fiber premier system for NCAA Division I, NLL, and PLL franchise venues that need true ball bounce and short-stop traction under broadcast lights. UltraBlade is the workhorse for NFHS, club, and parks-and-rec programs that share the field with football, soccer, and PE. Both ship with the same 8-year limited warranty.
Dual-fiber Apex monofilament with Sharkstooth slit-film backing. Tuned for World Lacrosse ball-bounce ranges, NCAA Division I cleat traffic, and short-stop direction changes that ordinary blade fields cannot hold. The system NLL and PLL franchise venues install.
Predator spec sheet
Slit-film blade fiber engineered for NFHS lacrosse, club programs, and multi-sport fields that share football, soccer, and band practice on the same surface. Same 8-year warranty as Predator. Friendlier line item for districts that paint three sports on one field.

Lacrosse FAQ
If your question is not here, ask the regional rep on your call. We do not route field questions to a sales hotline.
Ask a Sprinturf repYes. Predator and UltraBlade lacrosse systems are built to NCAA Division I specifications and to World Lacrosse ball-bounce ranges. NLL and PLL franchise venues that have installed Sprinturf operate within those same ranges. We document the spec on the project closeout package every time and we publish per-project test results on request.
Ball bounce on a lacrosse field is tested by dropping a regulation lacrosse ball from 1.8 meters at multiple test points across the field of play. The bounce height is measured against the published spec range. Sprinturf Predator systems test consistently inside the World Lacrosse range. We test on every install before turnover and we publish the results in the closeout package.
Yes. Predator and UltraBlade are multi-sport compatible. Most high school and collegiate programs paint a base layer of football lines and overlay lacrosse and soccer markings in seasonal paint. The turf system itself does not change. The cleat traffic per sport is what wears the field, not the lines on it. We will spec the line plan with the athletic department before install so the paint sequence is clean.
Lacrosse adds short, hard direction changes that football does not see in the same volume. Predator is built for that traffic with a slit-film backing layer that holds tuft integrity through repeated stop-and-cut play. UltraBlade handles the load on lower-volume programs without issue. Programs that have lost cleats on previous field installs almost always solved the problem by upgrading to Predator and a 16mm shock pad on the next replacement cycle.
Above the high school level, Sprinturf recommends a 16mm to 25mm shock pad on every lacrosse install. The pad protects head impact safety on goalmouth play and slide tackles, and it extends field life by absorbing the load from cleats. We do not skip the pad on a field that hosts NCAA or pro lacrosse and we will tell a school no when they ask us to value-engineer the pad out.
Predator and UltraBlade carry an 8-year limited warranty. Field life on properly installed Sprinturf lacrosse systems averages 11 to 13 years before performance-driven replacement. Multi-sport fields running football, lacrosse, and soccer wear at the high end of that range; lacrosse-only fields run longer because the per-game cleat traffic is lower.
Sprinturf is an approved vendor on Sourcewell, OMNIA Partners, BuyBoard, and TIPS-USA. Skip the full RFP and piggyback an existing contract. Most multi-sport fields close 30 to 60 days faster on co-op than on traditional public bid.
