Sports Turf Systems
50 mm PE monofilament for the rapid direction changes and ball behavior lacrosse demands. Factory-direct from Relyir — 20 years of manufacturing.
Why Specify 50 mm Monofilament
Lacrosse combines the sprint-and-cut demands of soccer with the body contact of football, and adds stick-work that requires precise ball behavior on the ground. The turf surface must deliver on all three simultaneously — and do it through seasons of multi-sport use.
A lacrosse ball hitting turf must bounce predictably — not too high, not dead. The 50 mm pile with sand and performance infill produces the controlled rebound that lets ground balls stay playable and ground passes track true across the field.
Lacrosse players change direction constantly — dodging, checking, cutting to the goal. Rotational resistance must be high enough for traction but low enough that cleats release before joints absorb the twist. PE monofilament fiber density and infill composition control this balance.
Body checks and falls from contested ground balls generate significant impact forces. The 50 mm pile, performance infill and optional shock pad work as a system to attenuate those impacts — a consideration that matters for both player safety and field certification testing.

Performance Design
Lacrosse is played at pace. Players sprint, check, dodge and cradle — all while managing a small rubber ball that bounces differently on artificial turf than it does on natural grass. The surface must be fast enough for transition play, soft enough for body checks, and consistent enough for ground-ball pickups that happen dozens of times per game.
The 50 mm pile height provides the infill depth needed to control ball bounce — too shallow and the ball skips unpredictably; too deep and ground balls become sluggish. Sand and performance infill work together to produce the controlled rebound that keeps the ball playable at ground level while still supporting fast footwork above.
Diamond-profile fibers resist flattening in the crease areas and midfield zones where traffic concentrates. Wave and stem profiles offer a softer underfoot feel that some programs prefer for practice surfaces or multi-sport fields shared with football and soccer.
Many lacrosse fields share with American football — particularly at the school and community level. The same 50 mm system with sand and rubber infill serves both sports, with line markings for each game tufted into the carpet during production. This dual-use capability is a strong argument for municipal and school budgets.
Relyir supplies the turf product with full specification documentation and works with your field-test laboratory on projects that target ASTM or equivalent performance benchmarks.
Factory Direct from Jiangsu
Relyir has manufactured artificial grass in Jiangsu since 2006. Every step — from raw PE pellets to finished rolls — runs on-site, which is how we control quality and hold pricing 30–50% below international equivalents.
All eight production stages are managed in-house, eliminating the quality gaps that arise when compounding, tufting and coating happen in separate facilities. The automated sports turf line, commissioned in 2015, lifted production capacity by 150% and tightened consistency across high-volume orders.
Customization is built into the line: blade density, pile height and fiber colors are adjusted to each project’s specification, with PP + net and PU backing options. The export team has shipped to more than 500 customers across 50+ countries since 2009 and handles all documentation — from commercial invoices to certificates of origin.
System Build-Up
The turf roll is one component of a four-layer system. We supply the turf and share build-up guidance with every project so installers achieve the field behavior specified at design stage.
Compacted aggregate or asphalt with engineered drainage — the foundation that supports the high-speed footwork and impact loads lacrosse generates.
Silica sand, typically 20–30 kg/m², brushed into the pile to weigh the system and keep fibers upright through repeated cutting and pivoting movements.
SBR, TPE, EPDM or organic (cork) at 8–15 kg/m² — choice depends on budget, climate and whether the field shares with other sports.
Optional elastic layer for projects that prioritize impact absorption or share the field with American football programs that require lower G-max values.
Every Relyir sports turf ships with perforated backing — drainage holes punched during our dedicated perforating step — so water passes through the carpet into the base layer rather than pooling on the playing surface.
Lacrosse crease areas and midfield zones see concentrated foot traffic and repeated stick contact. Regular brushing in these high-wear zones keeps fibers upright and infill evenly distributed. UV-stabilized PE fibers resist degradation under continuous sun exposure across all climate zones.
Lacrosse uses the same 50 mm PE monofilament platform as soccer and American football. The main difference is that lacrosse ball bounce behavior is a key specification point — the small rubber ball must bounce predictably for ground-ball pickups. The same Relyir 50 mm models serve all three sports, making dual-use fields practical.
Artificial turf with proper sand and rubber infill produces a more consistent and slightly faster ball bounce than natural grass. The infill depth and fiber density control this — too little infill and the ball bounces higher; too much and it becomes sluggish. The 50 mm pile with 20–30 kg/m² sand and 8–15 kg/m² performance infill produces the controlled rebound lacrosse players expect.
Yes. Many school and community lacrosse fields are shared with football and soccer. The same 50 mm system with sand and rubber infill serves all three sports. Line markings for each game can be tufted into the carpet during production, or temporary paint can be applied after installation.
Not required, but recommended if the field hosts American football or if your project targets specific impact-attenuation test values. Body checks and contested ground balls generate significant impact forces, and a shock pad reduces G-max readings while extending turf carpet life.
Standard rolls are 4 × 25 m or 2 × 25 m with a maximum width of 5 m. Field markings for lacrosse, football and soccer can be tufted directly into the carpet, and team logos are available on request. Blade density, pile height and fiber colors can be adjusted to project requirements.
Plan regular brushing to keep fibers upright — particularly in the crease areas and midfield zones where traffic concentrates. Periodic infill redistribution and top-up, seam inspections before each season, and decompaction in high-wear areas keep the field performing through its service life. Relyir provides maintenance guidance with every installation package.
