TAMPA, FL – Heading into its third year of the deal, United Soccer Leagues and Sprinturf reaffirmed their partnership that makes Sprinturf an Official Supplier and the Official Turf Supplier of United Soccer Leagues.
Sprinturf designs, manufactures, installs and services artificial turf systems that look, feel and play like natural grass – but are safer and far more durable. In addition to providing athletic surfaces, Sprinturf also offers a variety of other synthetic turf products for playgrounds, landscaping, golf greens and tees and recreational areas.
