Natural grass or contemporary synthetic turf? The heated debate within the football community has lasted for decades. It is not a question of which is superior, but rather of which is the optimal option for a safe and great gaming experience.
Top Floors Sports Infra is a designer and manufacturer of synthetic football surfaces.
Top Advantages of Synthetic Grass for a Football Pitch
Never miss a football game because of a muddy, waterlogged field.
It is common knowledge that football is dependent on the weather. Every year, weather issues force the postponement or cancellation of football games. When entire seasons are interrupted, players miss out on valuable playing time. With artificial football turf, players and spectators can enjoy a quality football match regardless of the weather, without having to worry about taking the pitch home.
Extremely hot summers, wet winters, snow, and dusty winds can cause natural football fields to become baked and muddy.
Less impact from the weather equals more time spent playing your favorite sport.
Consistency of performance
Artificial turfs for football provide an even and consistent playing surface devoid of the obstacles inherent to natural grass.
Artificial turf’s non-directional surface provides the player with secure footing and consistent ball control, allowing for optimal performance.
Among the natural turf variations that affect gameplay are:
- Bunches of grass
- Uneven terrain
- Dry patches
- Waterlogging
- Unkempt grass depressions
Professional players enjoy a perfectly manicured pitch on a regular basis, whereas amateur and club teams often neglect maintenance. Due to the high cost and effort required to maintain natural pitches in pristine condition, small clubs are frequently unable to afford them.
Designed keeping the player in mind
Artificial football fields are designed with the safety of the players in mind. The consistent terrain and play should result in fewer trips, stumbles and falls, thereby reducing the risk of serious injuries that could keep players off the pitch for weeks.
The turf system prevents players from sliding all over the field. This reduces the likelihood of tendon rips or tears, allowing football players to continue playing without interruption. On artificial turf, players can wear a variety of shoes, reducing injuries associated with sudden stops and stuck studs. Players may prefer specially designed flat shoes for football.
Under the turf, shock absorbers can be installed to reduce the long-term impact on joints. This allows players of all skill levels and ages to continue enjoying football, fitness, and fun in comfort. Artificial football turf has an extremely durable surface. Due to its superior construction, the turf is unaffected by varying weather conditions.
The artificial turf’s durability allows it to withstand thousands of hours of play without degrading.This allows your club or school’s athletes to consistently train on their home pitch. This provides players with the opportunity to develop and grow football skills that distinguish your team, in a comfortable and supportive environment.
Enjoy an improved ground
Due to the lower maintenance costs of artificial football turfs, clubs and schools are able to redirect those funds to community-beneficial projects. Because the space is accessible throughout the year, it can be rented out to generate additional income.
The additional income may be invested in:
- Improving the surrounding infrastructure of the football pitch.
- Offering scholarships to young athletes.
- Hosting community events like award ceremonies and training camps.
It all contributes to the players’, spectators’, and community members’ sense of pride and belonging. This positively impacts the reputation of your club or school.
