Bringing communities together
The power of football has long been known. The Beautiful Game has been bringing together communities ever since its inception in England. Ever since, clubs have grown and grown to the point where they, at times, become a large part of an individual’s personality. Football brings people together, especially younger people. In a time where the younger generation prefers digital entertainment, football fields still see their fair share of use. Youngster from the entire community congregate pitch-side for exercise, competition and to socialize. And, although many are satisfied with an uneven grass field, full of molehills, makeshift goalposts and made-up boundary lines the on-pitch performance, enjoyment and above all, the safety would greatly benefit from a fake grass football field.
3G fake grass football field
The most common type of fake football grass is a 3G field. These pitches are the latest, FIFA recognized football pitches. Consisting of synthetic turf, sand and rubber crumb infill overtop of a concrete sub-base, these pitches are among the safest for the players. The longer blades allow for more grip and a softer landing in the event of a crunching tackle or a game-winning diving save. Additionally, an absorbent shock pad can be laid underneath the turf to limit the risk of injury even more. What this means is that young people from the community have a safe environment to come together and play ball without the possibility of them twisting their ankle on a hole in the ground. Furthermore, they would have an ideal place to hone their skills for competitive matches at their club.
Greener communities
Considering communities typically don’t host competitive league matches or cup ties, they have more options to choose from. Moreover, communities are increasingly looking for a way to become for sustainable and green. Both of these circumstances create the ideal conditions for the installation of a 4G pitch. These next generation fake grass football fields allow for the exact ball playing conditions and safety as 3G pitches with an added benefit. These new fake grass football fields don’t require any type of infill, which limit the amount of plastics used.
