De La Salle High School Makes a Sustainable Leap

In a significant step towards sustainability, De La Salle High School, renowned for its remarkable athletic programs, is investing in its future with the installation of the AstroTurf® RootZone® GT-B Mono 60oz 2” turf system. Officially recognized by the USDA BioPreferred® Program for its renewable content, this upgrade underlines the school's long-term commitment to fostering an environmentally friendly atmosphere while providing athletes with state-of-the-art facilities.

This innovative turf system utilizes advanced monofilament fibers which emulate the look and feel of natural grass while incorporating AstroTurf’s patented RootZone® infill stabilization technology. The combination of these features results in a performance surface that promises reliable footing, consistent ball performance, and less maintenance. Importantly, these enhancements are achieved while using plant-based materials, significantly reducing the environmental impact of the facility.

Leo Lopez, Vice President for Athletics at De La Salle, expressed his enthusiasm regarding the upgrade, stating, "The quality and service provided by AstroTurf fields have been outstanding. The durability and performance of the surface not only elevate the level of play but also provide our student-athletes with a safe, consistent, and professional-grade environment every single day. Their product has become an invaluable part of our program, helping our athletes train and compete at their very best."

AstroTurf spares no effort in building partnerships with forward-thinking institutions. Dom Berarducci, of AstroTurf, remarked, "We are grateful to partner with clients who share our vision. When schools and communities opt for USDA BioPreferred certified systems, they're not just making a choice for their facilities; they are investing in something larger than just a game."

The newly installed AstroTurf will be utilized extensively for practices, competitions, and community events, providing athletes with a high-performance field that is resilient enough to handle year-round usage. The blend of performance engineering and sustainability ensures that the upgrade serves today’s athletes while also paving the way for future generations to benefit.
