If your school is considering how to improve sports with artificial grass, you’ve come to the right place. Trulawn are a leading artificial grass brand in the UK, and have been installing in schools since 2009. Our projects have instantly improved the durability, performance and appearance of schools, helping them to offer a better experience for pupils throughout their school career.
What kind of projects can improve sports with artificial grass?
Running tracks
One of the most prominent sports initiatives of recent years is the Daily Mile which encourages young children to run a mile every day. Whilst you don’t need anything to take part, lots of schools have decided that investing in a running track made from artificial grass can help emphasise the activity and reduce potential maintenance costs associated.
By having a brightly coloured artificial grass track, it immediately helps children visualise their route and safely run a mile around the school grounds. Our artificial grass designed for tracks and trails is tightly coiled for better endurance against high usage.
MUGAs or Sports fields
Lots of schools have limited space and lots of pupils, so you must make the most of every area you have. When you want to offer a range of activities for boys and girls, your facilities need to reflect this.
MUGAs have risen in popularity over the years and can come in a range of surfaces. For schools that want to retain the more traditional appearance of grass fields, our natural look artificial grass can offer practicality and performance.
We also provide Sports specific grasses for higher level sports pitches.
Play equipment surroundings
Small children get exercise through active play, and the most engaging spaces for children tend to include play equipment. Play equipment spaces can experience a lot of wear and tear, so durability is important to keep these areas safe for children to use.
We also provide cushioning substrates in the form of foam underlay or shockpad for any project where it is important to add extra bounce or meet critical fall height standards.
Accessing funding
It was announced in March 2023 that the PE and Sport Premium funding would continue for another two years, with £22 million pledged to help support children from all backgrounds benefit from regular exercise and activity.
A lack of adequate facilities that offer continual daily usage for a range of games and sports can prevent children from creating lasting habits related to exercise. Funding can be accessed to improve facilities and guarantee that all children receive education and opportunity to stay healthy.
It’s not just the government that provides funding, local supermarkets have charitable initiatives to help their communities thrive. For more information on where you might find finding, we recommend contacting FundEd.
