Installation Spotlight: Baseball Bullpens!

Installation Spotlight: Baseball Bullpens!

The Patriots are starting out strong this year already touting a 3-0 record and outscoring their opponents 40-7! The Pittston Area School District, located in Pennslyvania, called on Act Global, HERA SPORTS and Mericle to add some spice to their baseball facility as they continue their incredible season. The installation team installed was is known as a bullpen!

In baseball, the bullpen is the area where relief pitchers warm-up before entering a game. Over the last few years, the bullpen has increased in popularity amongst amateur and professional teams. This is because it provides every team to have a place for multiple pitchers and allows an easy transition for when the starter begins to show signs of fatigue.

The Pittston Area School District decided it was time to add some bullpens for the team. It was a no brainer for the school in their decision to choose Act Global’s Xtreme Turf BDX for the installation. The turf is designed to provide durability and consistency for the players while removing bad hops. In a game of fatigue, it is incredibly important for the players to have only the best surface availability.

Act Global sends a big shout out to HERA SPORTS for the great installation and Mericle for the site work and site management! Synthetic turf has its benefits in every place an athlete practices and plays!

Field Feature Friday: PAREF Southridge School

This week’s Field Feature Friday showcases this beautiful installation at PAREF Southridge School in Metro Manila. Installed by our Philippines partner, Specicon Inc., full maintenance training was provided and provisions were made for the school to help maintain their new field to the highest standard for years to come. Children who attend the school will now have the opportunity to enjoy a new sports turf field!

The turf used was Act Global’s Xtreme Turf SX50. Due to a carefully engineered subsoil drainage system facility made from a traditional dynamic stone base, the facility is able to withstand heavy monsoon rains. This especially important given the location and climate of the Phillippines. The SBR performance infill for the field was supplied by Genan AS from Denmark.

The Act Global team is proud of the work done for this installation!

Play More: A Pillar, Not A Slogan

Play More: A Pillar, Not A Slogan

It’s not anything new that children love to play. There’s something about getting to run around outside or playing a sport with friends that builds character. While it may be true as children get older their energy begins to slow, it’s safe to say their passion for competing will never go away.

Act Global thrives on providing new ways for children to go outside and be active. Studies show that children who play more outdoors are physically healthier, have better motor skills due to repetitive practice, and have stronger bones and muscles. Our synthetic turf fields help kids play for more hours of the day during any kind of weather or climate at any point of the year.

Mexico Players in the Homeless World Cup tournment, in Glasgow George Square The Homeless World Cup is a unique, pioneering social movement which uses football to inspire homeless people to change their own lives.
