Sporting CT Soccer Club

Location: Middletown, CT
Surface System Used: A-Turf® Titan S-50 DiamondBlade
Completion: September 2023

OVERVIEW

For 10 years, the Sporting CT soccer club, located in Middletown, Conn., has fulfilled its mission of growing, developing, and nurturing aspiring young athletes into collegiate athletics and beyond and cultivating great people who become leaders and active members of their communities. So, when it was time to install a second athletic turf field at the CCR Complex, which is the club’s outdoor home location, Sporting CT specified A-Turf® to do the job with Titan S-50 DiamondBlade.

KEY CHALLENGES AND SOLUTIONS

A-Turf was selected to perform the work on the second athletic turf field at the CCR complex, because of its proven track record and the strength of the relationship between Sporting CT Executive Director, Goran Vasic, and A-Turf National Director of Soccer, Jim Kilmeade. The projects A-Turf completed at South Kent and The Wooster School were so impressive that Sporting CT selected A-Turf over the previous manufacturer that installed the first synthetic turf field at the Sporting CT CCR Complex.

 A-Turf also stood head and shoulders above the competition, because it provided a total and comprehensive solution for this project. This included finding experienced and established general contractor partners, Carl Rosa & HI Stone Construction, and a financing option through A-Turf’s Sourcewell partnership with NCL Capital. However, the installation of Titan S-50 DiamondBlade synthetic turf is what sets this soccer field apart. That’s because Titan DiamondBlade features a revolutionary advancement in synthetic turf technology. With the industry’s highest-grade dual fiber system, this innovative turf solution offers reinforced strength, ensuring unparalleled durability. Boasting minimal maintenance requirements and exceptional performance, Titan DiamondBlade is the premier choice for modern sports facilities and features the industry’s best 12-year warranty when installed over an approved pad.

A-Turf Titan S-50 DiamondBlade at the CCR Complex will provide the aspiring Sporting CT players with the highest standard and most durable Soccer-specific playing surface in Connecticut.
