Recap: CASH’s 39th Annual Conference on School Facilities

Recap: CASH’s 39th Annual Conference on School Facilities

by

Last week Act Global joined our California partner KYA at the Coalition for Adequate School Housing’s 39th Annual Conference on School Facilities. CASH is the leading statewide organization representing school facility professionals for both public and private schools. The coalition has worked since 1978 to ensure that California’s students are guaranteed access to quality, safe and healthy environments that encourage educational success.

CASH’s 2018 conference was a 3-day event at the Sacramento Convention Center. Hosting a fusion of innovative ideas from experts within their fields, the goal of the conference is to provide a holistic approach to designing a better school system for the 21st-century. KYA was both an exhibitor and a sponsor of the event, both supporting the objective of CASH, as well as educating schools on the importance of proper surfaces.  This is especially true for athletic fields where student-athletes spend a significant amount of time throughout the week. Kyas’ KYA Active line supplies the highest-quality synthetic turf systems from Act Global and are a complete surface solution for safety, durability, and increased playing time. The KYA Active booth at the event featured a field flooring from an early 2017 installation-Beckman High School’s football field in Irvine, California.

Thank you CASH for hosting a fantastic event!

KYA Installation: Segerstrom High School

by

Opening its doors in 2005, Segerstrom High School serves the community of Santa Ana with diverse learning opportunities to prepare students in a way that emphasizes hard work and innovation. This is achieved through advanced class options and an availability to an extensive listing of extracurricular opportunities, including sports.  The school’s home football stadium was constructed after the school opened to host football games and practices, alongside other sports.

Segerstrom’s synthetic turf field was installed in 2015.  The Act Global-manufactured artificial grass provides superior support and protection with specifically-engineered safety components so that student-athletes can be confident in their playing surface. These components have been extensively tested both in the laboratory and against benchmarks of top natural grass facilities across the US.  The team had an exceptional 2016 season-finishing 11-2 and making it to the playoffs.  The team also had a winning season in 2017.

Segerstrom High School is one of nine high schools within Santa Ana Unified School District. The densely populated district of Orange County, California is the sixth largest school district in the state.

This installation was completed by our by our California partner, KYA.  The KYA Active line is committed to providing the highest-caliber of quality, superior service, and incomparable support with every Xtreme Turf field.

Field Feature Friday: Siloam Springs

by

One of our dedicated sales reps recently traveled to Siloam Springs, Arkansas to check up on a past installation at the city’s local high school.  The school is situated at the foothill of the Ozark Mountains and located in a growing town on the Arkansas border that maintains its small-town charm.

In 2016 the Siloam Springs Panthers advanced to 6A status within the state’s 6A West Conference. As part of the state’s second-largest conference, Siloam Springs requires a highly durable sports surface that could stand up to the high use of the multiple teams that utilize the field for practice and play. The Panthers chose Act Global synthetic turf for its proven durability and safety to enhance the performance of these growing athletes. This is proven with over 100 laboratory tests and natural grass benchmarks to ensure each field of Act Global offers protection to athletes so that they can play at their peak.

Real or Fake: The New Generation of Artificial Grass

by

Across the world, sports are a uniting factor that gathers fans to cheer on their favorite team. Whether its a Friday night routing for the local high school, an entire Saturday spent away at a tournament, or a Sunday surrounded by thousands of others screaming for their team, fans gather in sports venues and stadiums. And everything within the stadium-the architecture down to the field- must personify the heart of the team itself.

The field is a team’s stage.  It’s where they play and perform, where they make records and win for their fans. Those who aren’t there in person watch games televised. So as competition gets more fierce and the demand for high-quality playing surfaces that can withstand intense play at all levels increases, so too does the demand for that same technically-advanced system to look and feel natural. Today’s age of synthetic turf demands more not only in terms of quality and safety but also in aesthetic value then first generations of artificial grass of the 1960’s and 1970’s.  Because of this, synthetic turf has become a key player in fields for most of the professional sports franchises and associations.

Act Global engineers complete artificial grass solutions that both perform exceptionally well underneath player’s feet and look exceptional to fans.  Act Global’s synthetic turf is benchmarked against top natural grass fields in football, baseball, and American football to ensure every detail of the turf matches up to the best natural grass fields with the additional advantages of increased frequency of usage, extra revenue generation, safety, longer playing sessions, and fewer canceled games.
