CAPITAL PROJECT 2024: We have added a webinar to our capital project page that describes building a turf field, injuries on turf vs. grass, etc. This video provides a lot of information for those who need to know more about turf or have any questions about it. You can watch it on our webpage under the "multi-purpose field" section.
