![International Installation: Trent University]()
by Shelby Becker
As one of the top universities in Canada, Trent University offers exceptional resources to its students. The post-secondary institution is committed to providing an educational experience that is personal, purposeful, and transformative. Through both academic and extracurricular success, Trent University has been able to create a community that is challenging and supportive.
This year the University elected to resurface its original 2005 multipurpose athletics field to Act Global’s Xtreme Turf. The Excalibur now host practices and games on the most durable and safe brand of artificial grass available. This is essential for the soccer, rugby, and lacrosse teams that each utilize the pitch and require a high-quality surface for their performance. The field was completed with eco-friendly infill to reduce the school’s ecological footprint and encourage long-term sustainability.
This installation was completed by our Canadian partner Carpell Surfaces. Carpell Surfaces is a leading supplier and installer of synthetic sports surfaces across Canada. The company has an excellent reputation for top-quality installations in sports facilities at major universities, colleges and schools, as well as high-profile sporting events.

As the most popular sport in Poland, soccer is both a fan-favorite and one of the most common forms of regular activity. The soccer community is comprised of hundreds of professional and amateur teams and even more recreational leagues within individual communities.
Currently, this Southeast Polish community is upgrading one of its municipal parks to support the city’s love of football for years to come. By surfacing the pitch with Act Global synthetic turf, the city can be confident that this field will serve as a safe and durable asset for years to come. Not only does the professional-quality sports field look picturesque in the city’s landscape, but it is also built with exceptional research and development to perform optimally for athletes.

Last year, Act Global and USL joined together in a partnership to revolutionize the synthetic turf fields used for soccer. As the Official Synthetic Turf supplier for all league properties, Act Global is the #1 trusted athletic surface within professional and developmental soccer. The hundreds of teams that make up the USL, USL D3, PDL, and the Super Y Leagues deserve a pitch they can trust to support their safety and performance. With Act Global artificial grass, athletes and coaches can be confident that their sports field emulates natural ball roll, reinforces proper traction, and discourages excessive twists/turns of the joints. This is backed by extensive testing measures that assure our turf meets strict international standards of safety and performance set by international standards. This standard benchmarks facilities around the world to regulate the quality of sports fields that athletes play on.
We are thrilled to continue to work with the USL organization on this ongoing effort.

Today marks 60 days out from one of our favorite events of the year. The Homeless World Cup is the culmination of a year’s work to positively impact those affected by homelessness and to help change the perception of these individuals. The Homeless World Cup Foundation uses football as a mutual human connection to bring homeless people out of isolation and challenge them to share and communicate with others. By charging them with the responsibility to be active participants in something larger than themselves, these individuals have the opportunity to feel empowered over their own lives again.
This year marks the 16th edition of the annual tournament and is expected to be one of the largest to date. As the tournament continues to grow and impact more lives across the world, Act Global is honored to continue to be involved in the tournament. The 2018 event in Mexico will be our 4th year as the synthetic turf sponsor. Each of us at Act Global is humbled each year by the lasting effects of the tournament and we are sure that this year will be no different.
Thank you, Homeless World Cup Foundation for continuing to push for social change throughout the world.

Many artificial grass systems claim to be long-lasting and durable, but what does this mean? How is durability measured when a synthetic turf field is meant to last close to a decade and used by a large variance of sports teams and exposed to different climatic conditions?
Act Global’s Xtreme Turf systems were developed based on years of research and development, a thorough benchmarking process against top natural grass fields, and a continuous drive to improve player safety and comfort. These factors have led us to engineer sport-specific turf systems that are proven to be durable through 100+ laboratory tests related to fiber breakdown, tensile strength, and color stability. For Act Global, durability means delivering a field that looks and performs as close to day 1 in year 8 as possible. By testing our turf with up to 130,000 Lisport cycles for both our monofilament and fibrillated yarns and exposing our fibers to 3,000 hours of UVA testing, we can confirm that our artificial grass can withstand extremely heavy use and intense climatic conditions. Our lineup of colors is vibrant for a beautiful field and certified to last by exceeding stringent international industry standards.
By putting the needs of players first, our stakeholders are the athletes, schools, and communities that utilize our fields every day. We are proud to be building better fields across the world for safer, more economical, and environmentally friendly sports facilities.
