At the Magdeleine School in La Prairie, Québec, administrators prioritize the success of its students through respect, perseverance, and accountability. It is part of their value system to provide a healthy and safe environment, develop a sense of belonging and to ensure the continuity of every student’s academic progress. A key component of this push for scholarly success is the newly built synthetic football and soccer field and an athletic track for student athletes.
The school’s investment for its students to become better individuals is felt across the community. Those who attend the school along with multiple sports teams from the area can use this new field to engage in team building, employ healthy competition, and increase exercise.
The product used in the creation of this field is Act Global’s Xtreme Turf DX 60 and Stockmeier’s Stobitan SW. Quality, performance and environmental safety is a high priority during testing in order to maximize benefits to players, coaches, communities and more. The surface allows players to start and stop quickly and safely in fast-paced games and shock absorption is maximized to limit vertical deformation. This improves foot stability, prevents ligament stress and reduces overall player fatigue and injury.
Carpell Surfaces and Act Global are honored to have contributed to the future of student athletes of the La Prairie community and the Magdeleine School. We are excited to see how this investment will positively impact the environment and student success and safety.
