Santa Barbara City College (SBCC) is a local 2-year college that offers an excellent foundation in a wide range of associate degree and certificate programs. In 2013, SBCC was named Aspen Institute’s Community College Excellence award winner and earned a #1 ranking for exceptional quality. With a focus on facilitating underrepresented and minority student success, student learning outcomes, degree completion and transfer rates, and labor market success in securing good jobs after college, SBCC is comprehensive in its impact.
Nestled right along Santa Barbara’s coast is the school’s multi-sport field. Athletes have the special opportunity to practice and compete with stunning views of the Pacific off to their side. SBCC’s teams compete in the Western State Conference where both the men and women’s soccer teams won the championship in 2011- a remarkable record that was repeated in 2017. The brand of Act Global turf was installed in 2010 for its professional quality and extreme durability.

Two new synthetic turf systems from Act Global have been approved for FIH National play. The sand dressed field hockey pitches are certified to provide a durable surface for athletes that can sustain high levels of use. The strength of the system allows it to also cater to multi-sport use and is the standard for schools and competitive clubs.
According to FIH, better-skilled players now prefer sand dressed/non-filled surfaces for their greater consistency and comfort.
Act Global is also a preferred supplier for FIH.
Act Global is honored to welcome both of these new systems into the FIH Quality Programme for Hockey Turf.

Itanagar, India is currently in the process of installing the city’s second Xtreme Turf field hockey pitch. Following the success of the city’s first synthetic turf pitch at Sangay Lhaden Sports Academy, Itanagar has selected the Act Global artificial grass for the second time.
The water-based hockey field featuring Xtreme Turf is durable through all weather conditions and allows athletes to get back on the field quicker after a storm- dramatically increasing the ability to play. This is an especially important feature for Itanagar’s humid, subtropic climate.
This field hockey pitch is being built in cooperation with our North East India partner, Decor India, with installation support provided by our North India partner Chadha Sports.
Stay tuned for final field photos soon.

The premier New Orleans stadium to receive the leading artificial grass technology from the American-based manufacturer for the 2018 season.
Following a strong 2017 season, the SMG-managed Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans has chosen Act Global for the second-consecutive year as the manufacturer and installer for turf. The new field will be installed in late July before the New Orleans Saints’ first game against the Atlanta Falcons.
Due to its iconic nature and high demand, the Superdome is one of the most heavily used sport, concert and event venues in the nation. For this reason, it is also one of the only stadiums to install a new artificial grass system each year, as it requires non-grass floor space between football seasons. Act Global supplies superiorly-engineered turf systems created to advance player safety and performance. After exceptional feedback both internally and externally regarding the quality and appearance of the field, Act Global was announced as the preferred artificial grass provider this year as well.
“Act Global is honored to be selected again as the playing surface for a number of important NFL and NCAA games. We are thrilled to work with such a wonderful team at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome and SMG. They have a passion for creating the best game experience possible for the players and fans, and we appreciate the great feedback concerning our turf quality and performance. We are committed to continue providing the best support and turf experience possible,” comments Act Global CEO, John Baize.
Last year’s synthetic turf field was relocated to a public high school in Meriden, Kansas as part of a donation project through KTX Sports Construction’s Project 340.
