In May it was announced that Owasso High School would be resurfacing its football and baseball fields to feature new artificial grass. Both fields are a serious upgrade for the school, which was relying on old synthetic turf and natural grass for its playing surfaces. Stigall Field, the district’s home turf for baseball games will be re-outfitted a specialized baseball system from Act Global known as Real Play Technology. Real Play Technology is only available on Xtreme Turf systems and is shown to remove unnatural ball roll and bounce.
The design of the new football field came from the inspiration of the stadium’s press box and the team’s uniforms. The midfield logo even matches the ram visible on the school’s wellness facility exteriors.
With the completion of these fields, construction continues to face-lift the high school’s softball field, an indoor practice field, and a multipurpose field.
This installation is being completed by our partner, General Sports Surfaces. The teams at General Sports Surfaces are experts in high-quality sports construction and turn-key services.

Paramount Centre is a communal sports complex for the people living in Mississauga, Ontario. The centre spans over a sports arena and entertainment venue, community ice rinks, Mississauga SportZone, and outdoor fields. The active community is located just outside of Toronto and home to multiple sports franchises. One new team to Mississauga as of this fall is the Mississauga Metro Stars.

The premier sports and entertainment complex is going on its 20-year anniversary since its inception in 1998. The SportZone itself just celebrated it’s 10 year anniversary last fall, after modernizing the north field to feature Xtreme Turf. The FIFA 1-Star certified field offers the most safety and playability measures available for a sports field. The all-weather turf allows residents to play 7 days a week and all 4 seasons of the year while retaining the same texture and strength of a high-quality natural grass field in the springtime.
This installation was completed in 2017 by our Canadian partners, Carpell Surfaces. Carpell visited the site again this year to capture new imagery of the field, still looking fresh and new. Carpell Surfaces is a leading supplier and installer of synthetic sports surfaces across Canada. The company has an excellent reputation for top-quality installations in sports facilities at major universities, colleges and schools, as well as high-profile sporting events.

That’s a wrap for the 2018 Homeless World Cup! Act Global participated in the 16th edition of the Homeless World Cup in Mexico City through its donation of four top quality synthetic turf fields for the tournament. These fields hosted more than 500 players from 47 different countries to come together as a team and play football. This reintroduces a sense of structure and support into their lives to impact them in a meaningful way as they transition back into normal life.
After an inspirational week-long event, the results are in for the overall winners of this year’s tournament. Mexico really took the cake this year. Mexico took the victory for the men’s/mixed homeless world cup against Chile. Mexico’s women’s team also won against Colombia for the women’s homeless world cup. This is the second year for Mexico’s women’s team to win. This was such an amazing week for all of the participants and was definitely an exciting one to watch. The results of this year’s Homeless World Cup will seed next years beginning brackets.
Act Global CEO, John Baize proudly attended the tournament with his son Jack. The Homeless World Cup website features an article on John Baize where he explains how Act Global initially got involved with the tournament and how much it means to him and Act Global. Check out the Homeless World Cup website to take a look at John’s article!
Congratulations to not only Mexico City for winning, but also to all of the participants and the organizations that come together to make this tournament happen! Act Global is honored to be a part of the HomelessWorld Cup and hopes to continue its commitment for years to come.
