Artificial Grass
  • Why Artificial Grass as a playing Surface?
  • Better for Social/Recreational Players due to
    Lower Bounce
  • Better for Older Players as Shock Impact to
    joints is minimal
  • Popular with Adult Team Players due to
    Bounce/Impact
  • Potential Multi-Sport use i.e. Soccer Training
  • Excellent for Grassroots Coaching when young
    players fall and to slow the ball to aid hand-eye
    coordination
  • Can be used during and immediately after Rain,
    unlike hard courts which become slippery

11
Peak Court Time Pressure/Benefits
  • Peak Times
  • Peak Time Court Pressure between 6.0010pm Monday
    to Friday Indoor and Existing Outdoor (Floodlit).
  • Who wants court time?
  • After-school Grassroots Programmes, Junior Elite
    Coaching, Social and Recreational Adult Access,
    Junior and Senior Interclub matches, other
    sporting community groups (see letter of support
    from United Soccer 1) all compete for court time
    at the same times of day.
  • What will the new Floodlights give us?
  • Each additional floodlit court increases access
    times by 1000 hours per annum, based on 4 hours
    of additional light five times per week. Four
    courts 4000 Extra Court Hours if Artificial
    Courts are Floodlit.
  • Winter Access to Artificial Courts during Peak
    Times leading to more coaching and playing time
    for children, adults and other groups.
  • i.e. United Soccer 1/Korean Tennis Academy (see
    attached letter of support).
