Benefits of an artificial grass pitch

Even in these uncertain times, your club should plan for the future. Now is the time to consider installing an artificial grass pitch at your club!

1. More game time!

Artificial grass pitches look like grass but are much more resilient from adverse weather conditions and repeated use.

The design and materials used in the construction mean they are less affected by frost or heavy rain. Even if it snows - an artificial grass pitch can be quickly cleared with a tractor.

Result: Very few matches or training sessions are ever cancelled. For senior or juniors the game is always ON!!

2. More teams can use the same pitch

During winter, most grass pitches have to be rested so they have time to repair before the next game.

This means entire pitches lie unused for 5-6 days each week - a huge waste of valuable resources.

In contrast, an artificial grass pitch can be used around the clock 24/7. Your pitch can be used every night of the week and multiple times a day during the weekend.

Result: Junior teams can play Friday nights or Saturday morning with ZERO impact on adult teams.

3. Increase club revenue

Because an artificial grass pitch can take more use, it can be rented out to other teams, schools or private companies.

During the day, clubs can rent the pitches to community groups, private trainers or other teams.

In the summer the pitch can host private sports camps and community events.

Result: The pitch generates revenue which pays for the pitch and generates extra cash which can be reinvested back into the club.

4. Artificial grass is low maintenance

Grass pitches require a huge amount of expensive and time-consuming maintenance.

The grass will need rolling and cutting most weeks as well as feeding and sanding throughout the year.

This takes a huge amount of volunteer time.

In contrast, artificial grass pitches require significantly less maintenance than natural grass pitches.

Result: You are saving volunteer time, reducing costs whilst modernising your club.

5. Create the perfect pitch!

You can create any size or shape of your artificial grass pitch.

You are not restricted by size or budget. If you only have a small budget, a smaller 5-a-side pitch or training area may be the answer.

Every solution is custom to the needs of your club.

Result: Think outside the box, could a training pitch or small 5-a-side pitch be the perfect solution?

6. Flat means flat!

The technology used to lay an artificial pitch is highly advanced meaning a perfectly flat pitch which will remain flat!

Unlike a grass pitch which may develop bumps and lumps, an artificial grass pitch will provide a consistent, flat surface. And the play will mirror the bounce and shock absorption of grass!

Result: No more potholes or uphill corners.

7. It's good for the environment

Artificial grass pitches require very little watering, this means your club will not use excessive amounts of water, which is bad for the environment and club finances.

Plus you will not use fertilisers or pesticides which could damage local rivers.

Result: Saving water and reducing the use of pesticides is a win-win for your club!
