Field of the Week Friday: Why does field cooling matter in South Louisiana?
This week, weโre spotlighting Southside High School in City of Youngsville Louisiana a synthetic turf system designed for performance, consistency, and athlete-focused play in a hot-climate environment.
From the ground up, this project brings together a team focused on long-term field performance:
๐ Designer: Vermilion Architects, LLC
๐ท Installer: Athletic Turf Solutions
๐ฑ Turf Partner: AstroTurf
๐ซ School: Southside High School
๐ City of Youngsville Louisiana
๐ฒ Infill: BrockFILL
๐ Shock Pad: Brock YSR
๐ Size: 95,537 sq ft
Why does this matter?
In warm-weather regions like South Louisiana, surface heat can directly affect playability, comfort, and overall field performance.
Q: What role does BrockFILL play in a synthetic turf system?
A: BrockFILL is designed to help reduce surface temperatures compared to traditional black rubber infill, supporting a cooler and more consistent playing surface. Learn more about Brockโs organic infill: https://na2.hubs.ly/H04MxzT0
Combined with Brock YSR shock pad, this field system is built to support athlete comfort, consistency underfoot, and long-term performance. https://na2.hubs.ly/H04MBpW0
