“In planning our Academy we realized the importance of choosing the right artificial surface for our Academy facility. We visited many clubs in Europe and England, this included Ajax, Feyenoord, Anderlecht, Tottenham, Liverpool, Leicester, Middlesbrough. From these visits it was clear that FIELDTURF was the surface that would meet our requirements. I am pleased to say that the Academy opened some four months ago, FieldTurf continues to meet our expectations. It is used extensively by the Academy for players from nine years of age right through the age groups to full time professional players. The surface is also suitable for our Physio Staff who carry out rehabilitation training. Also we use it for goalkeeper training/coaching with the goalkeepers being confident to dive upon the surface without causing abrasions or injury.”
