Dubai British School at Jumeirah Park is a multicultural school for students years 1-13 and is located on the southeastern edge of Dubai. The school has built a community of encouragement that allows students to thrive in all aspects of their education and growth. Extracurriculars at DBSJP are seen as an enrichment to a child’s education, making these activities a vital part of daily schedules for academic and social development. Dubai British School prides itself on providing exceptional facilities for its learners, which is why DBSJP chose an Act Global synthetic turf system as the school’s tennis surface.
Act Global Xtreme Turf was selected for Dubai British School for its low maintenance and high durability under the harshest climatic and usage conditions. This professional system allows for constant play by the school so that students always have access to a sport. The synthetic turf is also independently tested by an accredited lab, fast-medium paced, and available in a variety of UV tested color combinations.
This installation was possible with the installation expertise of Raymond Sport in Dubai. Raymond Sport specializes in the distribution of sports and leisure design and construction projects in the Middle East and Africa. The team focuses on providing the highest quality materials and superior expertise and support to ensure complete satisfaction from their clients.

Saint Stephen’s Episcopal School is a private Pre K-12 college preparatory academy in Tampa Bay area and ranked as one of the most respected independent, college preparatory schools in the nation. Saint Stephen’s recognizes that creating an environment that fosters meaningful, well-rounded learning includes opportunities to participate and compete on athletic teams. At Saint Stephen’s more than 75% of middle school and high school students play on at least one of the 48 available sports teams.
Until 2013 Saint Stephen’s did not have an on-site athletic complex with the capability to host games. This forced players, their friends and families, and competitors to drive 5-miles to Palma Sola Park for games. It was that year that the school opened Moore Athletic Complex at Turner Fields, home to the school’s football, soccer, and lacrosse teams. Athletic director Carlos Boothby commented that the school thoroughly researched synthetic turf before selecting the blended system from Act Global. Chosen for durability, safety, and the ability to accommodate multiple types of sports teams, the Act Global Xtreme Turf surface was installed in the brand-new stadium in 2013.
As soon as the field opened players could tell a difference in the playability and performance of the Act Global artificial grass.
“You can really fly around out there,” said then-junior tailback Luc Goeders. “It’s like being on roller skates.”
Kicker Bradley Beazant added, “knowing that you’re going to have perfect footing as you approach the ball is huge.”
The Saint Stephen’s Falcon’s football team have won the 2016 and 2017 state championships. The girls’ lacrosse team has won the district championship for both 2016 and 2017 as well.
Good luck to the Falcons in the 2018-2019 season!

SSV Rhade is a sports club located in the western German town of Dorsten. The club offers a variety of indoor and outdoor sports at a variety of age and competition levels to encourage all players to stay active through sport. The club has been present within the Dorsten village for over 92 years. This year, aligned with the 800th anniversary of the village, SSV Rhade elected to construct a new synthetic turf soccer field at Sportpark Dahlenkamp. The Act Global-artificial grass pitch will serve as the basis for a modern, up-to-date training within the club with one of the most technically advanced turf systems available. SSV Rhade now has a professional quality turf system that will allow coaches to work with players and encourage healthy lifestyles year-round- a top priority for the club.
Act Global synthetic turf is extremely durable and engineered from comprehensive research into safety and performance components. SSV Rhade’s artificial grass system has a proven history of quality and durability, backed by extensive testing and R&D efforts. Because players spend many hours each week training on their sports field, it is vital that the playing surface is strong, consistent, and stable. The Act Global synthetic turf system is engineered for football teams with playability components that help athletes perform their best.
This project was possible through the work of our international partner, Sallandse United. The knowledge and experience of the team continue to result in excellent work and expert installation of Act Global synthetic turf.
