Full Course Description
The class begins with a discussion of issues to consider during the buying process. Then, you’ll learn about proper steps for construction and installation of synthetic fields. You’ll also pay special attention to independent testing criteria for fields because safety and liability protection requires synthetic fields to meet specific ASTM standards for shock absorbing capacity.
Finally, the class will cover maintenance strategies. If your community, school or program is considering installing a synthetic field, this may be the most valuable morning you can spend all year.
