Bronxville Union Free High School Upgrades Chambers Field with Act Global Synthetic Turf

After witnessing the large success and durability of Hayes Field since 2015, the district knew exactly who to turn to in the selection of synthetic turf for their Chambers Field. It was no question having seen it withstand flooding and snowstorms on top of its extensive daily usage each day over the course of four years.

Act Global partner, HERA SPORTS, installed a new Act Global Xtreme Turf BDX50 field for the school’s football, soccer and lacrosse teams. Like Hayes Field, the new Chambers Field will showcase GreenPlay’s custom infill blend of coconut fibers and cork and use the ProPlay-Sport23 product by Schmitz Foam. The ProPlay pad ensures that the playing surface is shock absorbent and safe to play on and the organic infill option helps support the movement of “going green”. This system will ensure adequate gradient drainage of water to help combat against harsh weather and flooding.

Now that the high school will have two synthetic fields at their disposal instead of one, the practice and game day schedule for their football, soccer and lacrosse teams will become easier and more flexible for years to come. The new field will be able to quickly fix past issues and help student-athletes continue to develop their skills and sportsmanship with the added playtime a synthetic turf field provides, approximately six times more than the average natural grass field.

“Act Global is honored to be chosen for the field replacement at their stadium, Chambers Field,” said Act Global General Manager for Sales and Operations, Jerry Harper. “The success of our BDX50 system at Hayes Field, Bronxville Union Free School Districts Multipurpose Field, provide the Broncos the most state-of-the-art facilities in the area.”

The school district, Act Global and HERA SPORTS are confident in the turf system for Chambers Field. The world-class turf company hopes to continue to touch the lives of the student body as much as it has with Hayes Field, serving the multitude of communities across the district.
