AstroTurf has long had a tremendous relationship with Catholic educational institutions and we look at this partnership as a way to strengthen and improve those relationships while also looking for opportunities to build new ones
DALTON, Ga. (PRWEB) June 28, 2018
The Catholic National Athletic Association is proud to announce a new partnership with AstroTurf Corporation, the inventor and leading innovator of the synthetic turf market.
With this partnership, CNAA has found a willing partner—one that will support the organization and the schools it represents with opportunities, education, advice, promotion and consultation.
“AstroTurf has a reputation for turning out some of the best synthetic sports fields in the country, and by partnering with them CNAA has found not just an expert in the industry, but one that has a mission that aligns with our own—to help kids succeed in sports and beyond,” said Leo Lopoz, founder of CNAA and athletic director at De La Salle High School.
AstroTurf is currently installing a new synthetic turf field for De La Salle High School that will be used for football, soccer, lacrosse and rugby. The field will be in a class of its own and will be the first field in the state of California with AstroTurf’s Trionic Fiber. Trionic is a super-fiber that reinforces player-friendly polyethylene fibers with ultra-durable nylon polymers in a feat of chemical engineering never achieved before in the turf industry.
AstroTurf will also provide financial support to assist CNAA in bolstering the reputation of catholic educational athletics and bettering its members’ athletic departments though education and training. Another major benefit of the partnership is that AstroTurf is offering a 3 percent discount on synthetic turf fields for CNAA members.
The partnership formed out of a long-standing relationship between CNAA and AstroTurf that started before CNAA took its organization to the national level. When CNAA took that step, it felt natural to form an official partnership with AstroTurf.
“AstroTurf has long had a tremendous relationship with Catholic educational institutions and we look at this partnership as a way to strengthen and improve those relationships while also looking for opportunities to build new ones,” said Troy Squires, AstroTurf President.
