For Immediate Release
COA and Sprinturf Announce Partnership
SACRAMENTO, CA .
. . The California Community College
Commission on Athletics (COA) today announced the selection of Sprinturf as
the "Official Synthetic Surface of the COA".
"We chose Sprinturf
due to their products' superior characteristics as well as the company's quality
workmanship and reputation. We were also extremely excited about their SandFree™
systems that completely eliminate sand from the turf's infill, removing significant
risk of field contamination", said COA Executive Director Carlyle Carter.
Sprinturf manufactures,
sells, installs, and services a variety of artificial turf systems that look,
feel and play like natural grass - but are safer and far more durable. From
the Ultrablade™ synthetic turf fibers and 100% clean all-rubber infill,
to the drainage system that keeps the field dry even in torrential rains, Sprinturf
uses the highest quality components, which results in its fields consistently
simulating natural turf in pristine condition.
"Sprinturf is committed
to servicing our colleges, understands the complexities of doing business with
higher education, and is offering a terrific product that speaks for itself",
Carter added.
The agreement features many
benefits to California community colleges. COA member schools will receive discounts
on surface prices and field logos and will enjoy priority installation scheduling.
Sprinturf will be featured at COA championship events by way of signage rights,
public address announcements and print advertising, as well as a wide array
of other cause-related marketing benefits.
"We are delighted to
partner with COA to help bring safe synthetic surfaces to community colleges
in California. COA joins a growing list of organizations such as US Lacrosse
and the United Soccer Leagues that have selected Sprinturf as their official
turf provider, said Hank Julicher, CEO of Sprinturf.
Sprinturf, based outside
Philadelphia, PA with regional offices worldwide, is the leader in all-rubber
infill systems. Visit Sprinturf at www.sprinturf.com, or call 1-877-686-TURF.
