SPORTS CONTRACTORS ASSOCIATION
22 Dec 2011
The Sports Contractors Association is a professional organisation that ensures professional sports field managers, contractors and installers adhere to industry-best practices.
Sports are essential considerations for any community. Municipal sports fields, semi-pro and professional sports fields, educational institution fields and private fields must be professionally constructed in order to ensure maximum playability, safety and performance for athletes, though. The Sports Contractors Association is a professional organisation that ensures professional sports field managers, contractors and installers adhere to industry-best practices and a rigid code of ethics, which results in the best possible sports fields for any situation.
Sports surfaces and tennis courts require far more than leveling and a layer of grass. They require proper technical consideration, advanced engineering and quality construction in order to be playable and durable. The Sports Contractors Association ensures that all professional members are educated and knowledgeable about innovations and developments within the industry, and that they have the technical knowledge required to serve their customers.
The SCA includes professionals and organizations that specialize in all forms of sports fields and courts, including hockey, bowling greens, tennis courts (natural, synthetic, and clay), athletic tracks, cricket facilities (indoor and outdoor), soccer, rugby, basketball, netball and skateboard rinks. As such, professionals are adept with a range of materials, including rubber, wood, synthetic grass, natural grass/sod, clay and more. They are also intimately familiar with more than surface construction methods, and specialize in electrical applications (lighting, etc.), drainage, landscaping, fencing, cage construction, netting and polyurethane.
Members of the Sports Contractors Association enjoy access to significant benefits. For instance, members are able to take advantage of the association’s ongoing educational and training programs, including workshops and seminars. They’re also able to add a vaunted credential to their list of offerings, providing their clients and customers with peace of mind. Finally, the networking opportunities within the organization are also of significant value to members, providing a means to forge new relationships and find more business.
