Exeter College is a tertiary college in Exeter, England that provides an array of courses and services to the community for students ages 14 to adulthood.  The college offers an environment in which teaching, learning, and student success are a top priority; at Exeter, success is defined both within and outside the classroom.  These efforts have culminated in a well-rounded student body with excellent exam grades, distinguished sports, music, art, and community achievements, and exemplary training successes.

The sports academy at Exeter College allows athletes to immerse themselves in their respected sport and receive a comprehensive training schedule and detailed training programs to advance their technical, tactical, mental, and physical skills.  The academy offers 13 different sports with some offering varying levels of competition.

Exeter College football just added an immaculate synthetic turf surface to its collection of resources for its athletes.  Verde Recreo Ltd. completed the design and build of the new artificial grass facility that features Act Global’s Xtreme Turf and TLC LED floodlighting from Musco Lighting.  Not only does the field glow bright and beautiful, but the turf also offers substantial safety components for elevated playability and performance.  With a precise balance between shock absorption and deformation, ideal rotational resistance (traction), and consistent and uniform ball-to-surface interactions, Act Global’s synthetic football turf maximizes player safety and comfort to reduce the most common injuries related to fatigue. This is why Act Global football turf has been selected as the surface of choice within top facilities across the world and has earned partnerships with elite professional leagues.

The Exeter College football teams will be breaking in the new turf in practice on Monday.
