Christopher Columbus High School is a private college preparatory institution that has worked since 1958 to encourage and nurture the growth of a student in heart, mind, and body. The 21st-century adept campus is located in Miami, Florida and encompasses 8 academic buildings. The school has established itself as a facility that is second to none, offering a unique blend of technology-infused educational approaches, career-focused curriculum pathways, and exceptional extracurricular opportunities. The school offers 16 varsity level sports that compete in Florida’s 9A level.
The Columbus Varsity Explorers are currently gearing up for their second round of playoffs which will take place tomorrow (11/16) on their home turf. The team dominated their first playoff game, earning a 50-0 win last Friday and progressing their current record of the season to 9-1. The Explorers are also undefeated at home for the season-an advantage that will hopefully continue in their match against South Dade High School.

In the recent years since Christopher Columbus High School renovated their football field, the team has never not made it to the semifinals of playoffs. This is in addition to a long history of outstanding performance that includes consistently making it to the semifinals as well as competed for the state title 3 years ago. The Act Global-manufactured synthetic turf surface is a professional-quality system that is distinctly engineered to offer superior player safety and comfort. The artificial grass is composed of balancing system components to improve foot stability and foot interaction with the surface, prevent ligament stress and allow safe starts and stops, and reduce player fatigue and injury. With the backing of over 100 laboratory tests and benchmarks against the top natural grass field (Texas A&M), Act Global synthetic turf is proven to both protect players and remain a durable surface for years. This allows the Explorers to be confident that the surface they are playing on is consistent.
You are able to watch the game live streamed tomorrow night here.
Good luck to the Explorers!

In 2015 we had the opportunity to provide Ashford’s new field hockey pitch with an Act Global manufactured synthetic turf surface. The Xtreme Turf system used is designed for speed and precision with its flat, fast surface and free moving fibers that enhance player footing and stick movements. Act Global is committed to the highest industry standards to grow the game of hockey. This means that the students at Ashford School can be confident that the artificial grass surface will allow them to play at their highest potential.

Hurlburt Field is a base for the United States Air Force located in Okaloosa, Florida. The base is home Air Force Special Operations Command, the 505th Command and Control Wing, and a number of other associate units, with the 1st Special Operations Wing serving as the host unit.
The carefully crafted Xtreme Turf field has served the US Air Force base since its installation in 2010. The synthetic turf system was selected to provide a professional sports surface that will is both engineered to keep servicemen and women safe as well as durable enough to withstand heavy daily use. Act Global artificial grass is benchmarked against the top natural grass fields and backed by over 100 individual laboratory tests to deliver a supportive surface with the best balances between shock absorption and vertical deformation, traction and skin friendliness, and deceleration and slip resistance.
“We here at Hurlburt are unique in the amount of physical training and running that goes on day to day, with thousands of people using this field every day,” said Colonel Lengyel. “This wore down the old field and kept us continually closing it down for maintenance. This new field is a step in the right direction for improving the fitness of everyone here.”
The artificial grass also proved to be a solution to the growing complication of having to shut down the field for constant irrigation and cutting. This ensures that patrons have access to the field for all hours of the day, every day.

Yesterday’s win boosted the Saints record to 5-2 for the season and increased their winning streak to five consecutive games. This is the longest streak the team has had since 2013. This season the Saints have risen to be one of the more powerful teams in the NFL by displaying their multi-dimensionality as a team. Both the offense and the defense showed up ready to play, never allowing the Bears to make a comeback.
Saints quarterback Drew Brees went down into NFL history yesterday by becoming just the third quarterback to complete 6,000 passes in his career. It was early in the third quarter of Sunday’s match when Brees joined rank with Brett Favre and Peyton Manning in this level of player prestige. Even with this notoriety and his team success, Brees stated “we still have a lot of work to do. We have a lot of room for improvement.”
Sunday afternoon’s game was played at the SMG managed Mercedes-Benz Superdome, which was resurfaced with Act Global brand turf before the start of the 2017 season.
In the coming month, the Saints will take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Buffalo Bills, Washington Redskins, and Los Angelos Rams.
