Sports Construction Management, Inc. has been selected to build the new Kentucky Country Day School (KCD) synthetic turf Field hockey & Lacrosse Field.
Release:
Dear KCD Community
It was just two years ago that we cut the ribbon on a new theater and fine arts center that now provides a fabulous home for our award-winning fine arts program. Today, I am excited to tell you about yet another initiative that was unanimously approved by the Board of Trustees on Tuesday night. Thanks to the hard work of some and the generous financial support of long-term KCD boosters, this summer we will install a new, fully-funded, state-of-the-art artificial turf field for our field hockey and lacrosse teams.
The field will consist of AstroTurf Game Day Grass 3DX, turf that has been installed at major universities around the country, including Duke, Stanford, Wake Forest, Penn State, USC, Texas A&M, Oregon State and Ohio State, to name a few. The field will contain a special thatch layer that greatly reduces the amount of infill splash during play and will be coated with AstroFlect, a special technology that reduces surface temperature when compared to typical synthetic turf fields.
The high quality and central location of the new turf field (adjacent to the current Bermuda grass field, in front of the Parsley Pavilion) is consistent with the long-term strategic plan of our athletic department. With its unique design to reduce splash and surface temperature, the new field will be superior to others in town. In addition, we believe that we will have an expanded opportunity to host tournaments, jamborees, club events and rentals, thereby creating additional exposure for KCD and its students.
I am thrilled about this opportunity to provide our students with yet another first-class facility. My deepest thanks to those who made this possible! Construction will begin on the new field this summer and will be completed in time for the fall athletic season. I look forward to seeing you then as we cheer on the Bearcats on our new AstroTurf field. Until then, enjoy the final two weeks of school and have a great summer!
Sincerely yours,
Bradley E. Lyman
Head of School
Thursday, May. 17, 2012. Officials from Matthews and Mecklenburg County broke ground today for the new $34 million dollar Matthews Sportsplex in Matthews, NC. Sports Construction Management, Inc. will be constructing the five synthetic turf multi-use athletic fields in the initial Phase I of the project.
Sports Construction management, Inc. gave Appalachian State University’s Sywassink/Lloyd Family Stadium women’s softball field a much needed field renovation and repaired other issues that often kept the team from playing on the athletic field
Appalachian State University women’s softball team will be taking to their familiar softball field this season but it will have a whole new look after Sports Construction Management, Inc. (SCM) completed renovations on the field.
The softball field at Sywassink/Lloyd Family Stadium required a field renovation because of consistent drainage problems. Troy Heustess, Associate Athletics Director/ Facilities said the Boone, N.C. school enlisted SCM to rebuild the field in order to fix those issues. Those problems are gone now that Sports Construction Management, Inc. completed the renovation.
“Shortly after the new drainage system was complete and the sod was put down the mountains experienced near monsoon rains. As wet as it was we could have played on the field right after the rain quit. It was amazing. SCM did a great job and the field looks fantastic. This new softball field has exceeded our expectations,” Heustess said.
Sports Construction Management, Inc. totally rebuilt the team’s softball field and installed a new natural grass surface, drainage system and infield to eliminate the existing drainage issues with the field, according to Leroy Lawson, Executive VP/Director of Sales.
“It was a rewarding experience for us to have a part in improving the softball field for the University and the players and it was especially exciting to be able to have it completed within a tight time line,” said Lawson.
Head coach, Shae Wesley said, it was great working with SCM on the new softball field knowing they could trust the company to meet the team’s requirements for the field. Wesley said the school was more than satisfied with the results.
“Our new field is gorgeous and SCM was very enjoyable to work with. Their staff was very professional and efficient at renovating our existing field. In my opinion SCM set out not to just complete the job to specs, but went above and beyond to create a field and home our team could be proud of. SCM even took the time to explain the smaller options that may be worth considering. They were constantly asking for my staff’s input, which was huge for us” Wesley said.
Originally converted from baseball to softball in 2007, Sywassink/Lloyd Family Stadium is the on-campus home for ASU Mountaineer softball. The stadium is a gem for the Mountaineers seating 1,000 and featuring a natural-grass playing surface, state-of-the art press box and concessions.

BATTLE OF THE BRANDS CHARITY GOLF TOURNAMENT
North Myrtle Beach, SC, November 25, 2011 – The 1st Annual Sports Construction Management, Inc. Battle of the Brands Charity Golf Tournament was held on November 10, 2011 at the Fazio Golf Course, located in the Barefoot Resort in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The money being raised is for the Blue Ridge Christian School, located in Sparta, NC.
Over 50 participants played under sunny skies to raise money for the new school, which opened in September 2011. Blue Ridge Christian School is a non-profit, private school for parents who choose to enroll their children in a small, faith-based school during their early years.
The tournament consisted of a Captain’s Choice format, with a 4 person team. Sunbelt Rentals won the overall tournament, with Fieldturf coming in with the overall low score for an artificial turf company and therefore winning the $0.50 per square foot turf installation for the first 70,000 square foot of a project (criteria set before tournament). All of this money (up to $35,000.00) will be donated to the Blue Ridge Christian School.
Sports Construction Management, Inc. would like to thank the many generous sponsors that stepped up for this event. Without their help, their inaugural tournament would not have been as successful.
