Why Multipurpose Fields Need Brock

A multipurpose field doesn’t get to optimize for one sport, it has to serve all of them. That means impact performance that protects a lacrosse player taking a fall on the same surface that a rugby player drove into the turf an hour earlier. It means drainage fast enough to host back-to-back games after a storm. It means a surface that stays consistent across thousands of hours of use by athletes of every size, age, and sport. Brock shock pads are the only systems that carry a 25-year warranty with a Gmax guarantee below 120 for the life of the field, so every program sharing your field gets the same level of protection on day one as they do in year ten.

Brock is Built for Every Game on the Field

Lacrosse

Lacrosse demands quick cuts, physical contact, and repeated ground-ball plays that put athletes in direct contact with the surface constantly. A Brock shock pad brings impact levels in line with natural grass while maintaining the firm, consistent footing lacrosse athletes need for speed and agility, on dedicated lacrosse fields and shared multipurpose installations alike.

Field Hockey

Field hockey demands precision from both the athlete and the playing surface. Ball speed, roll, and bounce depend on how the entire field system works together. Beneath the turf, a Brock shock pad supports consistent surface performance while helping absorb the impacts of falls and fast-paced play.

Rugby

Rugby places some of the highest impact demands of any field sport on both athletes and the surface, full-contact tackles, scrums, and rucks create repeated high-force impacts across every inch of the field. Brock ShockPads lower Gmax to protect players during those impacts without creating a surface that’s too soft to sprint and drive on.

Community

Community fields bring people together—from youth leagues to adult recreation. Brock surface systems help these shared spaces meet the demands of busy schedules and varied activities. The 10-acre Shoreline Athletic Facility in Mountain View, California, features Brock ShockPad Series beneath the turf and earned ASBA’s “Outstanding Multi-Field Facility of the Year” award.

These are just a starting point. From club and intramural sports to PE classes and weekend leagues, any program sharing a field benefits from the same consistent protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Soccer, lacrosse, field hockey, rugby, football, baseball, softball, track and field events, and many more all perform on Brock systems. The Shoreline Athletic Facility in Mountain View, California — a 10-acre complex on Brock ShockPad Series — won Outstanding Multi-Field Facility of the Year from the American Sports Builders Association.

Fields without a shock pad have been shown to wear out faster, because the turf fiber absorbs the full force of every impact directly. The pad takes those repeated compressive loads instead, extending the life of the turf above it. Mira Costa High School’s West Field hosts football, soccer, lacrosse, baseball, softball, rugby, discus, and marching band on a single Brock-equipped surface.

PowerBase YSR is the common choice for school and community multipurpose fields, offering lateral drainage and compatibility with BrockFILL. ShockPad Series is a lower-cost option for replacements or where vertical drainage is sufficient. BrockFILL is worth adding wherever heat or traction across varied sports is a concern.

Fast enough that scheduling rarely suffers. PowerBase YSR moves water laterally at over 500 inches per hour — faster than the turf above it — so back-to-back games after a storm remain realistic. For programs juggling multiple teams and shared field time, lost days are often the most expensive part of a natural grass surface.

The One Turf Concept is a best-practice framework developed by FIFA, FIH, and World Rugby to help improve the quality and performance of artificial turf fields. It brings together guidance focused on player welfare, performance, sustainability, and field longevity.

It was created to help field owners, designers, and communities better understand what a high-quality artificial turf system should achieve—not just when it is installed, but as it ages and is used over time

Player welfare is a central part of the Concept. It considers multiple surface-performance characteristics, including shock absorption, vertical deformation, rotational resistance, and Head Injury Criterion (HIC), rather than evaluating field performance using a single measurement.

Brock Shock Pads and BrockFILL are designed to support the impact absorption, stability, and traction characteristics central to the One Turf Concept. BrockFILL’s stated compliance with One Turf Concept performance parameters is included in its 10-year warranty. Specific performance results depend on the complete turf system and should be confirmed for the selected product combination.

Its emphasis on player welfare, measurable performance, durability, and testing aligns closely with Brock’s approach to building better-performing synthetic turf systems. Brock believes field performance should be evaluated through science and data—not simply how a field performs on installation day.
