Field Feature Friday: Walt Whitman High School

by

Walt Whitman High School is a public high school located in Bethesda, Maryland. Last month the Whitman Vikings installed Act Global’s Xtreme Turf for a new sports field for their athletes. The students of Walt Whitman High School are now able to have a safe and durable field for their sporting events.

 

When making the switch to synthetic turf, there are various benefits that come along with it. Not only is it cost-effective, but it also requires minimal maintenance compared to natural grass, and it’s environmentally friendly due to water conservation. Act Global’s Xtreme Turf goes through verified UV and UVA testing for intense climate conditions as well as safety and durability for all players. Maryland usually has low temperatures in the fall and winter seasons, so making the switch to synthetic turf was a way for this school to utilize the field as much possible without having to take time off for maintenance. This increases the availability of the field. Because of this testing, all athletes are able to enhance player performance on our turf safely.

 

We are excited to see how well the Whitman Vikings continue to play on our turf in the coming seasons!

International Installation: Hayu Village, China

by

Act Global’s Xtreme Turf SX was installed in Hayu Village, China for a new field that will be used as a local recreational facility for the people in the community and tourists who visit. This field is designed to enhance player experience as well as keep the appearance of the field as close to natural grass as possible.

 

 

Having a recreational field is a way to encourage community activity. Recreational fields provide access for the community to join together and encourage one another to get outdoors and be active, whether it’s competitively or for fun. Because these fields are suitable for a number of different sports, they serve as a huge advantage for the citizens.

Act Global’s Xtreme Turf SX was chosen for its bicolor grass that closely resembles natural turf as well as for the straight and durable yarns it has. All of Act Global’s Turf goes through verified testing to ensure safety and durability for all players. With synthetic turf, intense upkeep is not needed. The Hayu Village community will be able to utilize this field constantly without having to take time off to maintain the field, making it a convenient place for games or practices for the entire city.

“We are honored to have been chosen for Hayu Village’s recreational field. One of Act Global’s goals is to impact the communities we live in and the earth we inhabit. Being a part of this new recreational field for this city falls in line with that goal and we are thankful for the opportunity,” says Daniel Clapham, Act Global’s Regional Manager.

Field Feature Friday: Lake Elsinore Unified School District

by

Lake Elsinore Unified School District is a public school district located in Lake Elsinore, California. Earlier this year, three of the high schools within this district upgraded to new turf fields for many different sports. The Lake Elsinore student-athletes are now benefiting from each of these new turf fields from Act Global’s Xtreme Turf.

 

The Elsinore High School students now have a turf field for football, soccer, softball, and new track event areas. Lakeside High School, another high school within the school district, has received similar amenities along with a new turf stadium baseball field.  Temescal Canyon High School received a new running track, along with two new turf softball fields and one new turf baseball field.

The Lake Elsinore school district used Act Global’s Xtreme Turf for these new fields to ensure their players a professional-level quality playing field that is durable yet safe for each of these sports. Each of these high schools is 4A division school that is heavily engaged in all school sports. It is important that these schools have fields that can help these students safely excel in performance.

 

Having synthetic turf fields for different sports allows more playing time for the athletes. Without as much maintenance, no time will have to be taken off of the fields. This allows each of these teams to utilize the fields during offseason to help better prepare them for the competitive season and their overall success.

International Installation: New Pitch in Kołobrzeg, Poland

by

Since the first professional football clubs in Poland were founded in the early 1900’s, football has been the biggest sport in Poland. With 400,000 Polish people playing regularly and millions playing occasionally, there are hundreds of professional and amateur football leagues in Poland.

 

Kotwica Kołobrzeg is a football club that is located in Kołobrzeg, Poland that plays in the III Liga, a Polish fourth tier league. Kołobrzeg is a seaside town located on the northwest coast of Poland. Currently, Act Global’s Xtreme Turf is being used for the development of a new football pitch in Kołobrzeg. Xtreme Turf is tested for quality, performance, and environmental safety to maximize all benefits for its players.

This new pitch will serve not only as a safe and professional-quality field for all players but will also allow as much time on the field as possible due to the minimal maintenance the field will require. Because the climate in Kołobrzeg is mostly very cold, apart from a few months, the maintenance of natural grass after the winter months can be very intense. The use of Act Global’s Xtreme Turf will allow more playing time with less upkeep, making it a valuable pitch for the city’s club soccer team.

Work on this pitch is to be completed soon and we can’t wait for finalized field photos!

The automobile-manufacturer built a professional sports field using Act Global’s Xtreme Turf.

The staff at GAC-Toyota’s China facility now have access to an on-site private sports field. The artificial grass supplier AVG completed the Xtreme Turf installation earlier this month.

Act Global’s synthetic turf was selected for the facility due to its prevalence in worldwide sports and international agencies. The manufacturer is experienced in producing FIFA quality fields and supplying the best quality systems available. Xtreme Turf SX was chosen for the campus due to its reinforced spine and natural grass performance.

The installation was completed by the South China synthetic turf experts, AVG. All Victory Grass’ previous references include universities across the country and the Chinese National Stadium. The support staff at AVG will continue to work with GAC-Toyota to provide the necessary attention to maintenance and care to the turf system.

Regional Manager Daniel Clapham commented on Act Global and AVG’s partnership. “Our partnership with AVG in China has been in operation since 2012 and our joint stability, long-term vision and shared values of customer service, innovation and quality give our customers a high level of security in their investment with Act Global/AVG. We wish GAC-Toyota many years of high-performance play”.
