A synthetic grass pitch is not only a cost effective and low maintenance answer to year round outdoor sports, it is an investment in a school or sports club's future. Having access to a high performance playing surface allows athletes the practice and training space they need as well as the means to generate additional income from other users of a facility, contributing to a club's ability to compete and thrive in their sport.

Why Artificial Pitches for Football?

Artificial sports pitches are renowned for their superior performance and ability to mimic natural grass play, delivering excellent ball bounce, ball roll and a fluid player experience. Let's look at other reasons why sports clubs opt for artificial grass pitches as opposed to natural turf or hybrid surfaces.

Enhanced Durability and Low Maintenance:

Synthetic turf pitches are renowned for their durability, capable of withstanding heavy usage without succumbing to wear and tear. Unlike natural grass, which requires meticulous upkeep and can easily become damaged, synthetic turf retains its pristine condition even after continuous matches and training sessions. This resilience translates to significant cost savings for clubs, as the need for constant maintenance and reseeding is eliminated.

Consistent Playability:

One of the most notable advantages of synthetic turf is its consistent playability throughout the year. Natural grass pitches are susceptible to weather fluctuations, with rain and extreme temperatures often affecting the surface quality. In contrast, artificial turf provides a reliable playing surface regardless of weather conditions, ensuring a consistent experience with longer playing hours for players and spectators alike.

Environmental Sustainability:

Beyond its performance benefits, artificial turf also boasts environmental advantages. Unlike natural grass, which requires extensive watering and chemical treatments to maintain its lush appearance, synthetic turf conserves water and eliminates the need for harmful pesticides and fertilisers. Additionally, the longevity of artificial turf reduces the carbon footprint associated with regular maintenance, making it a more sustainable choice for football facilities, without any environmental concerns.

Other Synthetic Surfaces

We also supply artificial grass for other sports as well as artificial turf lanes and sprint tracks for both gyms and outdoor bootcamp fitness facilities. Here's what other synthetic grass products we offer:-

 

FAQ - Football Synthetic Grass & Sports Pitches

What is the best football pitch surface for a primary school?

There are a few different turf systems available for artificial football pitches and it mostly comes down to a combination of sports level, usage and budget.  For youth players and school applications, an extra durable 2G system for heavy use which also qualifies for FIH Multisports National and supports community and development level play is recommended such as our San Siro 2G system.

Do you recommend your 2G for an artificial soccer pitch in a back garden?

Our San Siro 2G system can be used for garden use but we would recommend our Football Practice Turf which is more suited for leisure play. 

Why should I consider a football pitch grass for my sports facility?

Football pitch grass is an excellent choice for sports facilities due to its unmatched durability and maintainability. Not only does it mimic the performance characteristics similar to natural grass, but it also poses fewer injury risks, requires less maintenance and is available for use all year round, regardless of weather conditions. Plus, it can withstand heavy use without showing signs of wear and tear.

Can VR floor mats help to enhance my virtual reality gaming experience?

Absolutely! Our VR floor mats are specifically designed for this purpose. They provide you space to move around safely while immersed in the virtual world, preventing accidental falls or bumps. The tactile cues on the mats can also help your body subconsciously map the gaming space.

How does a synthetic pitch differ from traditional grass pitches?

Unlike traditional grass pitches that require regular watering, mowing and fertilising, a synthetic pitch offers a more practical and cost-effective solution. It is made from synthetic fibres that are designed to replicate the look and feel of natural grass. This type of pitch is resilient to adverse weather conditions and heavy usage, making it a popular choice for sports facilities and football clubs.

What are the advantages of artificial football pitches over natural grass?

Artificial football pitches offer numerous advantages over natural grass. Besides being low-maintenance and weather-resistant, they deliver consistent performance regardless of climatic conditions. Artificial pitches don't get muddy or waterlogged, ensuring a faster, more predictable ball roll. They are also more durable, meaning they can be used continuously without the need for recovery time that natural grass pitches require.
