A. N. Myer Secondary School is a 60-year-old institution located in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. The public high school specializes in creating excellent students in academics, the arts, and athletics. Throughout their four years at A.N. Myer, each of the 1350 students are exposed to a challenging combination of courses that will prepare them to be lifelong learners.
The school’s athletic program competes within the Zone III, SOSSA, and OFSAA levels, meaning that although A.N. Myer is classified as a AA school, the Marauders also compete at the AAA level. This is true for the 24 athletic teams that the school offers for both boys and girls. The student-athletes at A. N. Myer are exceptionally hard working, which is why their athletic field should work as hard as they do.

Carpell Surfaces, Act Global’s Canadian partner, worked with the school to install a new synthetic turf, multi-sport field that will be utilized by multiple teams. The beautiful project was completed by Carpell’s chief installer Steve Peat and his team. Act Global’s Xtreme Turf was selected for the field for its superior strength and ability to perform under high volume and intense impact. The synthetic turf system specializes in athlete safety with balancing system components that aid in reducing the most common sports injuries.
Thank you to Carpell Surfaces for a pristine field installation.

KS Cracovia is a football club that has roots dating back 111 years, to 1906. Football started gaining popularity in Poland in the first years of the 20th century and quickly spread throughout the country. The club received its own pitch in 1912 and won the Championship of Austrian Galicia the following year. The long history of the club itself follows the history of Poland, from which a strong spirit of patriotism and tradition have emerged.
After World War I broke out, the team continued to compete against elite teams and foster the growth of exceptional players. Throughout World War II when Nazi Germany banned sports from Polish citizens, the team competed in secret championships of the city to preserve the spirit of the game. In the years following to the end of the 20th century, the team retained many faithful supporters that allowed the club to continue to develop.
Today the club competes in the Europa League, which Cracovia qualified in 2016 for the first time in the club’s history. The team recently updated their training center at Krakow city center to Act Global’s Xtreme Turf. This artificial grass system has a proven history of durability, safety, and performance, backed by extensive testing and R&D efforts. Because the team spends many hours each week on their training field, it is vital that the playing surface is strong, consistent, and stable. The Act Global synthetic turf system is engineered for football teams with playability components that help athletes perform their best.

Nestled in central Massachusetts, Marlborough is a quaint town with a rich history that dates back to 1657. The town has grown from a small New England settlement into a center for high-technology industries. Marlborough High School is the main 9-12 grade educational facility in the town and serves just over 1000 students each year. The school is committed to 21st-century learning with an emphasis on academic, social, and civic expectations. Act Global recently finished working with the high school to install a new synthetic turf baseball and soccer field for the Marlborough Panthers.
The Marlborough Panthers baseball team has proven itself as an esteemed program by earning winning multiple prominent championships within the local community. Throughout its history, the Panthers became league champions in 1984, 1986, 1987, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2010, and 2012, in addition to being central Massachusetts champions and state championship finalists in 2003. The Panther soccer team performed exceptionally well in the 2017 season, ending the season at the 7th ranked team in the state and a winning 19-2 record. The Panthers went all the way to the semifinals before an upsetting defeat by one point that kept the team from competing for the championship title.
The new synthetic baseball and soccer turf will be a consistent and safe surface that will allow the Panthers to perform at their peal. Act Global artificial grass is engineered and tested with proven technology to remove bad hops, supply extreme durability, and provide excellent drainage. Each of these factors means that the teams can practice harder and for more hours a week without the constant disruptions of rest time and maintenance. The synthetic turf system offers many practical benefits that make it the superior surface choice, while also providing a stunningly aesthetic pitch that will remain beautiful regardless of the weather or season.
Good luck to the Marlborough Panthers going into the 2018 season!
