Sport plays a major role with the school environment and is an extracurricular activity enjoyed by many of our aspiring athletes. Not only are team sports fun for children to play but it also increases their physical activity as well as enhances their sense of identity. School sports are a prominent part of our Australian culture and there are many beneficial reasons why it should stay that way.
With limited space and funding to do so, creating and maintaining safe and versatile sports facilities can be a difficult task. Luckily there is a solution that provides the optimum sports surface for a range of sports. Installing a multi-sports turf provides schools with the flexibility to include more sports in the curriculum and for extra curricular activities.
Synthetic turf surfaces offer children variety when it comes to taking part in physical activities. From field hockey to soccer and basketball, a multi-sports field provides children with the optimum playing areas with schools. Here are the benefits of multi-sports synthetic turf for educational institutions.
Make The Most Out Of Your Space
Installing synthetic turf fields is the perfect way to maximise playgrounds and sports areas. Depending on the school, you may have limited space allocated for sporting activities. Therefore having a multi-sports synthetic turf system is a great route to take. One versatile sports playing surface can provide a space for a multitude of various sporting activities.
Durability Through Every Season
The beauty of synthetic grass is that no matter what season it is, artificial turf is always ready to be played on. On the other hand natural grass can get bogged with water in the wet season making real grass slippery and dangerous for children to play sports on. Artificial grass offers effective drainage and won’t become boggy or slippery in the rainy season.
Little Maintenance Required
The maintenance required for natural grass can end up costing more money for a school in the long term. From mowing to rolling, fertilising and marking it up, the upkeep of natural grass is a constant job and costly. Astro turf multi-sports fields come with permanent markings suitable for a range of different sports and require very little maintenance. They are incredibly durable and designed for high usage.
Encourage Inclusivity
As part of the Australian culture it is important to make sure that everyone is included. Giving children the opportunity to play sports they are most passionate about allows them to form their identity. Multi-sports turf gives children options and the freedom of choice. For schools wanting to encourage inclusivity, multi-sports synthetic turf is the way to go.
