Urban Soccer Park’s Five-A-Side Fields at Perry YMCA
Project Overview
Motz provided its organic turf infill, Safeshell, for two of Urban Soccer Park’s 5-a-side soccer fields for Perry Family YMCA in League City, Texas, which is within the greater Houston area.
Urban Soccer Park is the leading provider of world-class five-a-side soccer fields, helping transform underutilized areas in communities across the nation through small-sided games. By designing, manufacturing, and installing these mini-pitches, Urban Soccer Park creates a fun and engaging space for people of all backgrounds to come together and play the world’s most popular sport.
Urban Soccer Park supplied the Perry Family YMCA with two five-a-side soccer fields to help engage their community, enhance their youth sports programs, and increase memberships. At the time, Urban Soccer Park was using a mixture of infills from three different vendors. This led Urban Soccer Park on a hunt for a simple infill installation and sourcing process.
Urban Soccer Park was specifically looking for a new organic infill for this project, especially one that could handle and help reduce the Texas heat. Urban Soccer Park chose Safeshell infill. Safeshell is a 100% natural, hypoallergenic infill made from US-sourced Black and English walnut shells with natural cooling technology to keep artificial turf cooler even on hot, dry days. Safeshell had all the characteristics Urban Soccer Park was looking for in one infill.
The Situation
Urban Soccer Park was interested in finding a new organic infill solution and a simpler infill sourcing and installation process. Urban Soccer Park did their due diligence to find the right infill vendor for their five-a-side soccer fields.
Urban Soccer Park was excited to find Safeshell because it is 100% organic and biodegradable. What makes Safeshell different from other turf infill options in the market is its combination of low-maintenance and high durability for an intensely used playing surface. Safeshell not only provides a safe and high-performance playing surface but also has the best organic infill warranty. Safeshell is guaranteed for 8 years, which meant the Perry Family YMCA (League City Texas) five-a-side fields would be long-lasting.
We chose 100% organic Safeshell for our 5-a-side soccer fields because it is a natural high-performance, low-maintenance infill that is organic, safe, and durable. Safeshell provided us with a high-performance field surface that would stay consistent and endure various types of weather and not impact the playability. Motz also provided us with expertise, support throughout the process, and high-quality customer service.”

This artificial turf infill is a natural high-performance, low-maintenance infill that is organic, low odor, safe, and durable. The quality service and high level of support were one of the many reasons Urban Soccer Park chose Safeshell as their turf infill.
