The Need:
- New synthetic turf replacement with higher levels of safety and performance
- To work with new suppliers as they were disappointed by the previous synthetic turf field
- Custom logos, endzones, and overall school branding
- A premium surface to perform in Chicago’s competitive Catholic League
- Durability and longevity during hot summers and cold winters
- A supplier who is on-call available to answer questions from the project’s start to completion
The Solution
Brother Rice Catholic High School chose Act Global to supply their new synthetic turf field because of our high quality product and relationship-based approach. As a private school, Brother Rice appreciated Act Global’s experience and guidance while walking them through the sales and installation process.
During the summer of 2020, Act Global’s Xtreme Turf DXF system was installed which included: alternating green panels, a center field logo, custom end zones, and a dedication logo honoring a student’s father who passed away. Xtreme Turf DXF’s tri-fiber blend leads the industry in durability, player safety, and performance testing. Brother Rice’s football program is a perennial powerhouse that has had graduates go on to play for Notre Dame’s NCAA football team.
Testimonial
“Our experience last summer with Act Global and the
installation of our new athletic field was exceptional. From
the removal of existing turf, remediation of the base and
final installation, Act Global delivered on time, and budget
and was extremely professional throughout the process.
The design and quality of the turf is cutting edge and we
have received endless compliments. Our administration,
coaches and student athletes all love the new field and
design work.
We highly recommend Act Global not only for the quality
of their work, but also their customer focus and price.
We will look to Act Global for our future plans.” said Mark
Donahue, President, Brother Rice High School.
