The Act Global synthetic turf field will be a part of the sports platform used by the Chris Canty Foundation to positively affect change in the lives of children.
Since 2010, the Chris Canty Foundation has sought to empower the youth to be a force of positive impact on their communities through mentoring, educational programs, and the promotion of health, fitness, and well being. The foundation utilizes the five core values of hope, service, respect, justice, and compassion both to foster the development of youth and to conduct an ethical and transparent business.
“The ultimate goal of the Chris Canty Foundation is to mold and develop well-rounded, character-driven individuals possessing the mental, physical, and emotional strength to win in the game of life as well as promote local and global change through community service”- Joseph Canty, President.
In addition to its year-round efforts, the Chris Country Foundation also hosts an annual “Camp of Champions” as a way to teach children how to channel their competitive nature and expose them to the rewards of winning. The two-day camp focuses on building leaders on the field, encouraging communication, and teaching the fundamentals of discipline and hard work.
We’re proud to be a small part of this organization by manufacturing a multipurpose field for their camps and special events. We hope to see the foundation continue to grow and spread its impact to more communities across the nation. Our synthetic turf a durable playing surface that allows athletes to play on our fields with confidence that Act Global artificial grass will protect them from the most common injuries related to fatigue.

Cracovia Krakow is the oldest Polish football club still in existence and has competed since its founding on June 13, 1906. The 111 year-history of the club closely intertwines with the history of Poland itself, which is why patriotism and tradition are integrated into the sports club. From the red and white colors of the club to the attitude of openness, tolerance and respect for other cultures and nationalities bear respect for history and the club’s values. The club also emphasizes the ideals of “fair play” as an approach for success in both sports and life. This standard stresses the important of honorability, loyalty, and honesty; fair play is the impartial and equitable treatment of others and the presentation of high ethical and moral standards. KC Cracovia believes in fostering not only the growth of athletes but also building and strengthening their community through common values and traditions.
The Polish football club recently renovated their 1912-originating stadium to modernize its training base in Krakow. Part of the upgrades included a new, top-quality synthetic turf pitch from Act GLobal. The Xtreme Turf Woven Product system was selected for its proven safety and comfort to players while increasing playability. The artificial grass provides the perfect balance between shock absorption and deformation to create a stable surface and limits the risk of fatigue-related injuries. Poland’s new synthetic turf pitch will also give consistent ball-to-surface interactions so that soccer players can adapt quickly to new conditions of play. Finally, the pitch provides proper traction to balance the possibilities of twisting knees and ankles with slipping over the surface.
The Cracovia Stripes have an updated stadium that is engineered for the benefit of the players.
Good luck to The Stripes!

The Act Global branded artificial surface was awarded certificates for the main stadium and training field at the National Sports Complex.
Kula Lumpur, Malaysia – The International Hockey Federation FIH Quality Programme for Hockey Turf includes the certification of hockey fields to ensure that surfaces are being built to the highest standards. FIH Certified Fields are independently tested on how the ball interacts with the playing surface, the comfort and performance levels to ensure the well-being and protection of players, and confirming that the field has been built to the dimensions, line marking, slope and surface drainage requirements of the FIH. The Global Elite certificate is given to a surface that meets the requirements for FIH to-level international competition. Act Global’s Xtreme Turf surfaces for Malaysia National Hockey Stadium, the main field and training field in Kuala Lumpur, both achieved this certificate by using an elite performance nylon wet-hockey system. They are the first ever Global Elite certified pitches in the world.
The Malaysia National Hockey Stadium serves as a multi-use stadium in Kula Lumpur, Malaysia. It is the home of the Malaysia Men’s and Women’s National Field Hockey Teams and was the official competition surface for the 2017 South East Asian Games (SEA Games). It has been used for the national team’s field hockey matches and hosted competitions for the 2002 Men’s Hockey World Cup, 1999 and 2003 Hockey Asia Cup, 1982 Hockey Junior World Cup, 2000 Hockey Junior Asia Cup and 1998 Commonwealth Games. The stadium has been a pillar for growing and sustaining the game of hockey and will continue to do so with its Global Elite surface.
Act Global partnered with Sport Tech Pro to install this Xtreme Turf elite performance pitch. The nylon surface was produced by Act Global’s plant in Europe and it was designed to offer superior water retention, meaning the field stays wetter for longer which allows it to withstand the Malaysian heat. The flat, fast surface contains fibres that enhance player footing and stick movement while permitting consistent ball roll. As a FIH Preferred Supplier, Act Global is committed to the highest industry standards and continues to engineer high performing systems, suitable for all levels of play.
The Malaysia National Hockey Stadium pitches are Act Global’s 3rd and 4th FIH Certified Fields in Malaysia.

Hurlburt Field is a base for the United States Air Force located in Okaloosa, Florida. The base is home Air Force Special Operations Command, the 505th Command and Control Wing, and a number of other associate units, with the 1st Special Operations Wing serving as the host unit.
The carefully crafted Xtreme Turf field has served the US Air Force base since its installation in 2010. The synthetic turf system was selected to provide a professional sports surface that will is both engineered to keep servicemen and women safe as well as durable enough to withstand heavy daily use. Act Global artificial grass is benchmarked against the top natural grass fields and backed by over 100 individual laboratory tests to deliver a supportive surface with the best balances between shock absorption and vertical deformation, traction and skin friendliness, and deceleration and slip resistance.
“We here at Hurlburt are unique in the amount of physical training and running that goes on day to day, with thousands of people using this field every day,” said Colonel Lengyel. “This wore down the old field and kept us continually closing it down for maintenance. This new field is a step in the right direction for improving the fitness of everyone here.”
The artificial grass also proved to be a solution to the growing complication of having to shut down the field for constant irrigation and cutting. This ensures that patrons have access to the field for all hours of the day, every day.
