Indoor Soccer on Hard Maple: Adapting Football Turf for Wooden Courts

While traditionally played on turf, indoor soccer gains traction on hard maple floors due to their speed and precision. The smooth surface enables faster ball rolls and sharper turns, appealing to futsal-style play. To adapt, venues use non-marking shoes and specialized floor coatings to enhance grip. Hard maple’s durability also withstands cleat scratches better than synthetic surfaces, making it a cost-effective choice for multi-sport arenas hosting both soccer and basketball events.
