FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do we know if our athletic fields are safe?
Surface hardness is one of the main safety measures. We test it with a Clegg hammer against FIFA's safety limits, 40 to 100 g (100 is also the NFL's limit), inspect the fields and send a written report, field by field, for your athletic director and business office.
When is the best time to renovate school fields?
During summer and holiday breaks, so the fields are ready when the season starts. We schedule the work around your academic and sports calendar.
How do we get field work approved by our board?
Every assessment ends with a Field Condition Report written for the people who approve the budget: head of school, athletic director, business office or board committee. Your fields are ranked by condition and safety, with the top three priorities and quotes for the first jobs.
Our school has no turf crew. Can you maintain the fields?
Yes. Turnkey field management covers mowing, fertility, seasonal renovation and game preparation under one contract. Indian Rocks Christian School in Largo, Florida, is maintained by World Sports year-round.
Do you work on baseball and softball fields?
Yes: infield clay, laser grading, mounds and lips.
Can you supply equipment for our grounds crew?
Yes. As an authorized US dealer for Dennis and SISIS, we supply mowers and turf equipment to university grounds crews, with training, parts and support from people who run these machines every day.
