Benefits of 3G astro turf

What are the benefits of training on 3G astro turf? 

Training with dedicated sports equipment and on dedicated pitches comes with some wonderful benefits – physically, emotionally and socially and, here, we’ll explore what the benefits of 3G astro turf are. Specifically, what are the benefits of training on 3G astro turf? 

Benefits of 3G astro turf

Durability: 3G astro turfs are especially durable and is therefore quite resistant to damage. The porous layers of the turf mean rain drains off of the surface quickly; as such, the risk of training sessions and matches being called off due to the characteristic wet weather we get here in the UK (!) is significantly reduced. 

This, of course, comes with benefits to the clubs/groups running the sessions as well as benefits to attendees and their families; less risk of canceled or delayed training & matches means a stable and reliable routine, consistent exercise and opportunities to socialise with other families in the area who share similar interests. 

Smoother playing surface: due to the fact that 3G astro turf is synthetic and ‘man-made’, it has been specifically created to display a number of beneficial properties including providing a smooth playing surface, which means less risk of injury to players who could trip and/or fall during the course of a game. 

Alongside this is the consideration that 3G astro turf also provides better grip and, of course, better grips leads to less chance of slipping and falling! 

Shock absorption: its many artificial layers make 3G astro turf a fantastic shock absorber; making for increased ball performance, less required maintenance and reduced risk of injury. 

Environmentally friendly: a natural grass pitch will, naturally!, require a lot of water in order to stay lush, green and… well, alive! A 3g astro turf pitch, however, doesn’t require nearly as much water to maintain – staying green all year round! Less water consumption means 3G astro turfs are considered to be environmentally friendly and particularly useful during heatwaves and hot spells like the ones experienced this summer (2022).

Maintenance: and, due to all of the above, 3G astro turfs are also considered much easier to maintain than natural, grass pitches. They don’t require regular water, they don’t require excessive damage repair and they don’t become excessively water-logged. 

In short, the benefits of 3G astro turfs are vast! 

Training on 3G astro turf reduces:

• Risk of injury
• Risk of cancelation and/or delay to training and matches
• Water consumption 
• Risk of damage

As well as helping training sessions and matches run to schedule and time, supporting families and attendees to engage in regular physical exercise, as well as establish and foster friendships with others; leading to improved mental and emotional wellbeing!
