![Citrus College Joins the Ranks of World-Class Stadiums with New Xtreme Turf Field]()
by Shelby Becker
The new artificial grass field installed by The KYA Group offers a professional level sports system to southern California school.
Austin, TX- Known to keep elite facilities for its athletes, Citrus College elected to revitalize its main field with leading synthetic turf technology. This summer The KYA Group expertly installed the artificial grass system before practice for the 2018 season began.
As a replacement for the outdated field, the Xtreme Turf system was selected for its reputation for safety and strength. The Citrus College Stadium has a long history of being used as a filming destination, meaning the field must remain camera-ready throughout the year. Xtreme Turf combines science with aesthetics to be safe for athletes, durable against damage, and beautiful for fans.
Citrus College’s new turf offers a bright and bold surface solution for a field that is utilized by multiple sports teams. The vivid markings make it easy for players and fans to distinguish their field lines. Finished off with a bold blue and orange border, the synthetic turf field rests beautifully in front of the college’s mountainous surroundings.
“The field couldn’t look better,” comments KYA regional director Andrea Ivey while visiting the site after completion. “We can’t wait to get players on the field so they can experience the turf themselves- we know the coaches are excited for game day.”

Round Rock, TX—The Round Rock Dragons football team upgrades their practice field to artificial grass.
The Xtreme Turf installed at Round Rock High School is Act Global’s DXT system. The DXT incorporates a layer of thatch fibers to help lock infill in place, and monofilament fibers which add shock absorbency. We recommend a DXT for indoor facilities because of its low maintenance paired with performance benefits.
Indoor facilities are prominent in states like Texas because they eliminate weather interference such as rainstorms, high heat, and humidity.
Round Rock High School is located about 9 miles north of our corporate office, making this project extra special to the Act Global family.

Tinton Falls, NJ–The K-12 private school’s new field features Act Global’s Xtreme Turf Woven and ocean plastic infill making it 100% recyclable.
Ranney School partnered with Princeton Soccer Academy (PSA) to re-turf 80,000 square feet of its existing soccer, lacrosse, and field hockey surfaces.
“Our athletes, their families, field owners, and the environment deserve better. The Elite Turf POWER system [Xtreme Turf Woven] is a win for all parties, reducing exposure to toxic chemicals, helping to prevent injuries, cutting costs through its recyclability, and removing dangerous plastic from our oceans,” said Paul Adams, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Elite Turf. “Completing our first installation in the U.S. with Ranney School and Princeton Soccer Academy is an important milestone for us, and we look forward to introducing our product to additional athletic facilities and public and private institutions across the country in the coming months.”
Xtreme Turf Woven is completely recyclable at the end of its life due to a trio of synthetic fibers woven into an interlocked backing system, eliminating the need for a polyurethane backing. Water passes easily through the woven backing allowing soil to dry quicker, while fixation and dimensional stability keep the fibers standing vertically to resist matting.
The woven system is not only eco-friendly, but it offers performance benefits for the game of soccer such as consistent ball roll, steady footing, and reduced glare and heat.
Along with the recyclable turf system, Ranney School used Act Global’s ocean plastic infill which is salvaged ocean plastic synthesizes into an eco-friendly TPE infill.
“We are thrilled for Ranney School to be the first facility in the states to install our woven system,” said John Baize Act Global found and CEO. “We are committed to providing safe and environmentally conscious surfaces to both our partners and to communities around the world.”
Ranney School is an independent, co-ed, secular college preparatory school serving children from age 3 to grade 12 offering an all-inclusive soccer program.
Act Global and Elite Turf plan to provide sustainable options for customers nationwide for years to come.

General Sports Surfaces out of Fort Worth, Texas, installed the NR34 product that was developed in collaboration with Act Global and Major League Baseball Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan and his Ryan Sanders Sports & Entertainment.
West Orange TX–Using natural grass benchmarks, RS3 and Act Global set out to engineer an optimum surface in terms of ball roll, infill splash, and natural ball bounce.

General Sports Surfaces, who recently installed a new Act Global synthetic turf for the West Orange-Stark football field, was also involved in the base construction and installation of the school’s new baseball and softball fields.

We are proud to be associated with Act Global and the Nolan Ryan group (RS3),”
“Countless hours of research and testing went into the development of this system, which was designed and tested to emulate the playing conditions of perfectly manicured natural grass baseball and softball fields,” Puentes continued.
“We are extremely pleased with the finished product that was provided by GSS. The level of professionalism and commitment to excellence was second to none.” – Dr. Rickie R. Harris, Superintendent.
“We appreciate the opportunity to enhance the safety and performance of the West Orange-Stark High School student-athletes” John Baize, CEO of Act Global said. “Our partners General Sports and RS3 join us to support the school’s culture to empower lives through excellence every day’.
