Victor Valley High School Sports New Look with Xtreme Turf
Ray Moore Stadium received surface upgrades to world-class artificial grass from Act Global, installed by The KYA Group.
Austin, TX- This month KYA crews completed work to renovate the Victorville, California stadium by replacing the original natural grass field with high-quality synthetic turf.
Southern California’s Victor Valley Union High School District began searching earlier this year for an alternative to natural grass. The previous field had recurring issues of increasing water and maintenance costs and was seen as unsafe from holes created by burrowing animals and erosion. With uneven portions of the field, athletes were faced with a higher risk of injury.
Act Global’s Xtreme Turf is trusted across the world as the best artificial grass technology possible. Backed by years of research and extensive testing, Xtreme Turf is a proven surface to make athlete safety the number one priority.
“Not only is the field extremely functional in its ability to safely accommodate multiple different sports teams, it’s also beautiful,” comments KYA Regional Manager Andrea Ivey. “The large Jackrabbit centerfield logo is a serious visual enhancement to the stadium.”
The excellent relationship between Act Global and The KYA Group has helped bring professional-quality sports surfaces to schools across California.
Director of Act Global Chuck Fleishman notes, “We are proud to have a partner so tirelessly dedicated to quality. KYA shares our belief that better sports fields are created by first serving the needs of players, and we are honored to continue to work with their team.”

The Cardinals took home a victory over the Chargers in their NFL preseason debut on Saturday night and many new players, including rookie quarterback Josh Rosen had the opportunity to shine on the field. Training to be a professional football player takes countless hours on the field and endless exhausting practices to get players game-day ready.
Metlife hosted its first preseason game last night where the Giants seemed to falter despite their home-field advantage. The 20-10 victory by the Browns was in large part from rookie QB Baker Mayfield who (unsurprisingly) was a star on the field after being subbed in during the first quarter. A second New York team has a chance to defend their home turf tonight, also at Metlife Stadium.
This week kicks off week two of the preseason for the NFL, and finally, all 32 teams will be hitting the field for game day. We are excited to watch our favorite players take to the fields of our favorite stadiums across the country starting Thursday.
