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.

Soccer World Berlin is a recreational facility focused with a focus in the development and training of soccer enthusiasts. Soccer World is the largest indoor soccer facility in the area and features 6 playing fields. Additionally, guests can relax at the on-site sports bar, workout at the fitness facility and participate in instructor-led workout classes, and host children’s birthday parties. Each of the indoor synthetic turf fields is rentable to patrons for pickup games and friendly competitions.
This year Soccer World chose to invest in new synthetic turf technology for each of the 6 fields in the facility. The artificial grass selected from Act Global offers a superior surface for indoor soccer play by maximizing player safety and comfort. By providing sufficient firmness to limit fatigue injuries to the lower extremities of the player’s body and proper rotational resistance to ensure foot stability, Act Global has developed synthetic turf surfaces that work with athletes. Our surface also maintains consistent and uniform ball-to-surface interactions (ball bounce and ball roll) for a better ball control.
This project was possible with through the work of our international partner Sportsgrass Tartemann and the installation team at Henitech.
Check our Soccer World Berlin today to experience the world-class synthetic turf played on by professional athletes.
