Ex-marching band geek here.

The turf does not give as much as grass/dirt and **has a lot more traction**. Great if you’re running sprints. But terrible if you have to pivot on a foot while turning or if you’re falling and sliding on it. This is true of sports, all the way down to simply turning on one foot while marching.
