Marr College: raising the game for school and community sports in Troon

Marr College, a historic secondary school in the town of Troon, Scotland, is demonstrating how investment in quality sports infrastructure can create new opportunities for young people and local communities. With the installation of Act Sports’ FIFA and World Rugby certified #Fusion FB 60 turf system, the school is setting a new standard for dual sports performance and accessibility.

The Challenge: a multifunctional field for future athletes

With a growing demand for sports programmes and extra-curricular activities, Marr College was faced with the challenge of not only upgrading its main sports field, but their goal was also combining the improvement of its facilities its promotion as a driving force for development in the local community.

The school needed a versatile, durable, and weather-resistant solution that could accommodate both rugby and football, two of the most popular sports in the region.

“It’s attracting more young people to the sports, helping to raise the overall talent level in the community. The pitch also serves as a central hub for local events, encouraging participation, promoting healthy lifestyles, and strengthening Ayrshire’s sporting identity.

A double-certified solution with Act Sports

To meet these requirements, Marr College chose Act Sports' #Fusion FB 60 turf system, which is engineered to deliver elite-level performance and is officially certified by both FIFA and World Rugby. Renowned for its natural ball behaviour, player safety, and exceptional durability, the surface provides an ideal environment for school sports education, training, and competitive play throughout the year.

Key benefits of the project

Dual-sport excellence: Certified by FIFA and World Rugby, #Fusion FB 60 supports both football and rugby at a high-performance level, offering unrivalled versatility.
Enhanced player safety: With optimal shock absorption and traction, the surface helps reduce injury risk—critical for young athletes.
Weather-resilient performance: Whether in winter rain or summer sun, the field remains playable, supporting year-round sports engagement.
Community impact: The pitch is now used beyond school hours, becoming a hub for local clubs and grassroots sports initiatives.

“I was delighted to supply Marr College as this was a replacement of a well-used turf that we supplied first time around. The new Fusion FB system employs an in-house yarn which is another great step and an uplift in yarn technology and performance”

Strefa Sportu: Innovation for the development of local sports

Strefa Sportu, a growing sports club in Poland, is proving how sports can be a powerful tool for transforming communities. Through its commitment to innovative and quality systems, such as those developed in collaboration with Act Sports, the club is expanding access to sports and strengthening its impact on athletes both locally and nationally.

The Challenge: creating accessible, high-performance sports spaces

Strefa Sportu had a clear goal: to provide high-quality turf fields for communities and sports clubs across Poland. The lack of adequate facilities limited the development of athletes and made it difficult to promote sports in various regions.

"This investment was a very important step forward for our football venue. It helped us to give more playing area to more football teams, clubs and football academies to train on brand new turf from Act Sports"

Innovation and quality with Act Sports

For their football field Boisko piłkarskie, Strefa Sportu chose Act Sports’ #Fusion FB 60 artificial system, known for its durability, performance, and resemblance to natural grass. This strategic choice allows players to enjoy a consistent and safe surface all year round, regardless of weather conditions.

Key benefits of the project

Enhanced playing experience: #Fusion FB provides a uniform surface that improves ball control and traction, raising the quality of play for both training and competitions.
Sustainability and maintenance: Unlike natural grass, artificial turf requires fewer resources for maintenance, such as water and chemicals, contributing to environmental sustainability and reducing operational costs.
Year-round accessibility: The resilience of #Fusion FB in various weather conditions ensures that the field remains available for use in every season, encouraging continuous sports practice.

"Act Sports is happy to be supplier and main Partner for Strefa Sportu. This project was high profile project for us, and we proposed and delivered one of the best 60 mm turf systems from our product portfolio"
