football and hockey are now often played on artificial grass turfs

Grass sports fields can cause headaches for schools, drying out to hard dusty, often slippery, summer surfaces, becoming muddy mires in the winter months just when they are in demand. Constant maintenance is required to keep these fields playable and safe: mowing, rolling, spraying, irrigating, drainage, and re-applying marking paint. No surprises then that international football and hockey are now often played on artificial grass turfs, and practice facilities use synthetic grass for consistent playing conditions that are not dependent upon the weather. Our field sport turfs closely resemble natural grass pitches, but offer more benefits for schools:

• Your teams can play their best game safely in all conditions on an even, stable all-weather surface.
• Training and game schedules are not compromised because of poor weather or poor field conditions.
• Non-abrasive, softer, longer yarn grass allows players to tackle and side-step at speed safely.
• Our synthetic fields are comfortable for players, absorbing the accumulated impact of hours of hard practice and reducing the risk of stress injuries.
• The fields are permanently marked up for several field sports, and can include a cricket pitch, practice wickets and a running track around the perimeter of the field.
• The consistency of the surface enables players to develop their skills confidently and safely without disruption.
