England Goalie to Open Playrite Sports Facility at School
England and Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart is to officially open a new multi sports facility at a Staffordshire school that uses Playrite synthetic surfacing.
At the end of 2010, Cheslyn Hay Sport and Community High School in Staffordshire decided to update its sports grounds to create a purpose-built, floodlit multi sport installation, using 6,000m² of Playrite Conqueror 40. An excellent choice for both football and hockey, the 3G surface meets FIH and IATS performance standards as well as EN 15330 part 1.
With reduced maintenance and increased playing time, a surface from Playrite can greatly improve the sports facilities at any establishment.
To complete the project, Dura-Sport Limited, one of the UK’s leading independent synthetic surfacing contractors, was selected to install Playrite’s Conqueror 40.
Both Dura-Sport and Playrite are members of SAPCA and Dura-Sport is also a member of API. Dura-Sport’s installation was completed to an exceptionally high standard, despite the challenging weather conditions encountered during December and January.
The school, Leisure Centre and Staffordshire County Council are all delighted with the quality and appearance of the new all-weather sports facility, which is an exciting addition to the excellent facilities already on offer at the school.
Tony Porter, from Staffordshire County Council, commented: “Playrite’s Conqueror 40 surface ticked all the right boxes for our project. The surface looks and plays to the standard we were hoping and expected.”
Cheslyn Hay, which has acquired a strong reputation for its work in curriculum development, care, support and guidance, is committed to doing the best for all students. Opened in 1977 and currently with around 1340 students, the school focuses upon health and fitness for all working there and provides increased quality access to physical activity.
The project is now complete and awaiting students’ return from the half term holidays. Joe Hart will officially open the sports facility on Tuesday 1st March.
