Field Feature Friday: Lake Elsinore Unified School District

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

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!

New Synthetic Turf Field Installed at GAC – Toyota Guangdong Campus

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 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.

Weekend Recap On Our Turf

This weekend was packed full of games to watch on our turf. With both wins and losses, it was an interesting weekend to say the least.

Friday, October 26th 

Friday night Austintown Fitch High School beat Cardinal Mooney High School on their home turf in Austintown, Ohio. Fitch senior quarterback Dom Montalbano scored three touchdowns Friday night, allowing the Falcons to move on to the playoffs. Trailing 21 to 0, Cardinals Chris Grubner got a 25-yard touchdown and put the Cardinals on the scoreboard. After a field goal for the Falcons, Jason Santisi scored a 4-yard touchdown for the Cardinals. The end score was 24 to 14, advancing the Falcons on to the playoffs on November 2nd against Euclid High School in Euclid, Ohio.


Saturday, October 27th 

Saturday was an exciting day for the Houston Cougars. With an ending score of 57 to 36, the Cougars beat the University of South Florida, resulting in them ranking for the first time since 2016 at number 17. The Cougars had six rushers total 265 yards. Houston’s defense forced two fourth-quarter turnovers sealing the win. They will go on to play the Southern Methodist University on Saturday.

Sunday, October 28th 

Sunday was a busy day for our brand of turf. Oregon Ducks women’s soccer beat the Arizona Wildcats on their home turf in Eugene, Oregon during overtime 1 to 0. Bailey Brunner scored the winning goal in the 95th minute of the game. The last four home matches were tough for the Ducks, especially the losses in the past two. We are proud they pulled through for a win this time. Hopefully, they keep up their hard work for their game against Oregon State on November 2nd.


One of our favorite NFL teams, unfortunately, took a loss this Sunday but the ending score was relatively close. The Redskins beat the Giants 24 to 13. The Giants fought hard but were won over by the Redskins use of their defense starting from the second quarter. The Giants offense just wasn’t hitting it this week, but we hope to see them fully recovered and ready for their game in San Francisco on November 12th.


Two of our other favorite NFL teams played against each other this Sunday and it was an exciting game to watch. We are proud of both teams and can’t wait to watch each of their following games on our brand of turf.

The Saints beat the Vikings 30 to 20. Their secret weapon Drew Brees was prepared to take exactly what the defense was going to throw at him and he did just that. The Vikings attempted to slow him down a few times but ultimately there was nothing stopping the Saints offense. This victory for the Saints extends their winning streak to six weeks. Their next game is at their home turf on the Mercedez-Benz Superdome against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. That matchup is said to be the most anticipated matchup of this 2018 NFL season. We are excited to see if the Saints will keep this winning streak going on our brand of turf. As for the Vikings, their wide receiver Adam Thielen continued to make history with now eight straight games with over 100 yards. He had 102 receiving yards during this game. The Vikings definitely played hard, we are proud of Adam Thielen and hope to see them dominate the Detroit Lions next week.

It was an overall great weekend for some of our favorite teams. Act Globals turf is tested for quality, performance and environmental safety. We are honored to have each of these teams play fun and safely on our brand of turf. Check in next Monday for another weekly update on the biggest games that took place on Act Globals synthetic turf!

Video: Reinforced Grass Successfully Installed

This May work commenced to revitalize the Voetbalvereniging AD69 soccer club in Aalten, Netherlands. The multi-stage project required resurfacing of three fields including a full sized field, the goal areas of a second fields, and Xtreme Turf on a third field. By July, both the Xtreme Turf and the Xtreme Grass had been installed and the hybrid areas were ready for seeding. This process was planned far enough in the future that all fields would be ready for play by fall training.

The official grand opening of the south sport park was last week to celebrate completion of the renovation. Check out this video of the installation of our Xtreme Grass product!
