Artificial Grass Provides Base for 2016 National Sports Convention

Gearing up for its opening this Thursday 23rd June, the National Sports Convention in Australia this year has for the first time a focus on technology and solutions for natural, hybrid and synthetic turf so that more people can access facilities for both sport and recreation.

With, it is claimed, the most comprehensive educational program on recreational and sporting facilities in Australia, The National Sports Convention 2016 has the mission that includes seeking “what infrastructure facilities, programs, activities and technological solutions are needed to support more people being active”.

Collectively, the convention this year comprises six streams of conferences, presentations and keynote speeches, in the areas of Synthetic Sports Turf, Natural Sports Turf, Programs and Activities to Grow Participation, Play Symposium, Sport and Recreation Facility Management and Technological Solutions to Enhance Experience and Patronage.

With regard to the foremost, on 23rd June, a representative from FIFA shall make a presentation on the behemoth organisation’s new Football Quality Program Performance Standards for Football Turf ,while Alastair Cox, Facilities & Equipment Manager for the International Hockey Federation, will do same for Products, Providers and Builders as part of their FIH Quality Program.

The next day, the expo’s conference program turns its focus to climate and environmental concerns, as affecting artificial turf. With Australia’s notorious climatic conditions, the issue of UV degradation shall be tackled while other speakers shall address recent health concerns over the rubber infill used in artificial turf fields.

Elsewhere, in what promises to be a fascinating speech, David Teasdale, Chair of The Institute of Groundsmanship (UK), shares what Australia can learn from the UK’s 30 years of experience in the use of synthetic technology for sports fields.
