Forget About Muddy Football Pitches! Opt For Artificial Soccer Turf

With many football clubs in Europe looking to lower maintenance costs of football pitches and maximising match fixtures, the idea of installing artificial soccer turf is gaining popularity. Artificial sports pitches are virtually indistinguishable from natural grass when viewed from a distance. Made from Polypropylene fibres or lubricated polyethylene fibres with rubber or sand infill or water-based, a synthetic Sports Turf is ideal for sports like football or soccer, hockey, tennis, netball, and many more.

An artificial soccer turf can be used all year round. So, there is no more any reason to get disappointed due to muddy or water logged ( from melted snow or heavy rains) football pitches that often lead to cancellation of the matches. Many football clubs have already installed the new Synthetic Grass surfaces not only for playing purposes, but also for using them as an all-weather training facility. An artificial sports turf requires minimum maintenance and can tolerate all weather conditions. There is also a layer of “shock pad” just beneath the artificial grass. This helps in protecting the players from injury.

The synthetic soccer turf installed in many sports facilities makes use of the latest “third generation” artificial grass pitches, as they offer playing characteristics similar to that on natural grass. Sliding and falling on the artificial turf is just the same as on natural grass. Also, the ball rolls and bounces with the same speed as that on natural grass.
