Turf Tank US

Alberto Regaldo, President at Sacramento United Soccer Club, used to spend full days lining fields by hand. Spike, string, measure, walk, paint, repeat. All so the kids had proper fields to train on.

For their 14-field academy area alone, that was a full day's work. Sometimes more. And when the job got too time-consuming? Some fields didn't get painted.

Now every field gets lined. Practice pitches, regulation sizes, week after week. What used to get skipped is now standard across all 57 teams 🦾

As Alberto puts it: "𝘐𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘦𝘹𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘣𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘴𝘪𝘻𝘦 𝘧𝘪𝘦𝘭𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘢 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺'𝘳𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨."

Because when setup stops taking all day, there's suddenly more to give to the rest of the club ⚽️
