The Polish sports club KS Bałtyk Koszalin encompasses over 300 athletes as a part of 12 individual teams. The youth teams are consistently ranked as the most successful in the region and the junior and senior teams see the same success within their respected top leagues. The program at KS Bałtyk Koszalin has proven to select and train competitive and skilled athletes. Since its reactivation in 1995, the club has seen several of its alumni continue to the Polish premier league.
KS Bałtyk Koszalin is located in the northern edge of Poland. The name Bałtyk means Baltic, the sea which Koszalin is situated upon its shore. When replacing its worn synthetic turf pitch, the club wanted a technically-superior system that matched the aesthetics of the natural landscape. The new Xtreme Turf field will now serve as the main field for practices, scrimmages, and training for each of the club’s teams. The full-sized field is proven to resist damage despite high-use situations and climatic conditions.
Work on the pitch has been completed and it is ready for use.

Located on the outskirts of Toronto on the edge of Lake Ontario is a large and up-and-coming city. Mississauga is an extremely active community in a variety of sports and activities, so its necessary for the city to provide amenities that support this lifestyle.
Last year Mississauga elected to install two multi-use artificial grass fields within a local park. The high-performance synthetic turf fields are located at Iceland Park, a state of the art facility that offers many sports and recreational amenities for the area. Both fields sit within the 160-acre park with vibrant markings for any sports team to train. The fields are made entirely of professional-grade synthetic turf, the same turf seen in stadiums across the world.
Almost a year after installation, our partners captured aerial imagery of the fields that are still looking vibrant and plush. The Xtreme Turf fields completed with EcoFill from Mondo and ProPlay underlay from Schmitz Foam was installed by 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.

The iconic Birds Next Stadium was designed and built as the main hub for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. The large, open roof stadium has since become a venue used for high-profile events and as a tourist attraction. BNS remains a landmark that continues to draw in people from across the world for both the sight and for events.
Currently, outside the stadium, the management team is testing a pilot field crafted from Xtreme Grass. Inside Birds Nest is a traditional grass field that is both difficult and expensive to maintain and faces wear from the multitude of games and attractions hosted within the stadium. After the test field proves to be successful, the pitch inside the stadium will be resurfaced with the reinforced strength of Xtreme Grass. Xtreme Grass offers up to 30% more playing hours compared to natural grass alone and promotes faster, thicker growth of the grass blades.
Stay tuned for updates on Birds Nest Stadium!

The new synthetic grass field installed by The KYA Group offers a professional level sports system to Southern California Schools.
Austin, TX- This summer, Citrus College elected to revitalize its main multipurpose field with leading synthetic turf technology. The KYA Group expertly installed Xtreme Turf before practice for the 2018 season began.
As a replacement for the outdated field, this 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, therefore 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 respective 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.”
