To whom it may concern:
In 1999, La Jolla High School began researching solutions for our
stadium field problem. We have the smallest campus and athletic
facilities in the San Diego Unified School District. Six physical
education classes and thirteen athletic teams share our one athletic
field. With the overuse of our field, our school spent thousand of
dollars annually in maintenance costs to try and keep grass growing. No
matter what we did, the field quickly became dirt/mud and a safety
liability. After struggling for years, we had to find a safer and more
cost effective athletic field. We chose to install Fieldturf in June of
2000. Fieldturf has been the answer to our athletic field problems. It
has given us a safe, reliable and first class facility that is
available year round to our students and the community.
The safety of our students and student athletes has always been our primary concern. Fieldturf has greatly alleviated our concerns. In the years previous to our installation of Fieldturf, knee and ankle injuries were a major problem due to the condition of our field. The first year we installed Fieldturf, our injuries were drastically reduced. Our professional trainer, our staff, and our parents are extremely pleased with the safety of the field.
After extensively researching all of the available products on the market and hearing the “sales pitch” from each, Fieldturf was clearly the best solution for our field problem. Their track record, consistency and upfront sales approach made our decision an easy one. Without a question, I highly recommend Fieldturf.
