For most athletic field installers, a new project is just that—a new project. But for ForeverLawn Texas, our work at Trinity Christian Academy (TCA) felt like coming home. Owners Jason Delph and Nick Pavey both played football at TCA in their high school days, so returning to install a cutting-edge football field at their alma mater was a full-circle moment.
A Special Connection to TCA
Jason and Nick’s history with TCA runs deep. Both played under the same head coach, who is still leading the program today—a testament to the school’s enduring dedication to athletics and community. Getting the chance to upgrade their old stomping grounds was a unique honor, combining personal nostalgia with professional innovation.
A First in Texas
This is no ordinary turf installation. The field at TCA is the first in Texas to feature the combination of our SportsGrass Max XF product with a premium safety pad. Here’s why this pairing stands out:
- SportsGrass Max XF: Engineered for high-impact sports, it offers a realistic playing surface without excessive infill. Players experience excellent traction and ball roll, making it ideal for competitive football programs.
- Premium Safety Pad: Placed beneath the turf, this safety pad helps absorb impact, providing an added layer of protection against injuries. Its shock-absorbing qualities contribute to the overall safety of the field.
Putting these two elements together creates an elevated playing experience, delivering both performance and peace of mind for athletes and coaches alike.
Why SportsGrass Max XF?
- Reduced Infill Splash: Max XF is designed to keep infill in place, minimizing the messy “splash” you sometimes see with other turf systems.
- High Durability: Football is one of the most demanding sports, and Max XF stands up to continuous wear-and-tear, season after season.
- Realistic Feel: Athletes get a natural, less abrasive surface that feels closer to a well-maintained grass field, improving overall gameplay.
Installation Highlights
- Community Involvement: Since Jason and Nick already had strong ties to TCA, their excitement and passion shone through in every step of the process.
- Upgrading the Program: The new field not only benefits current players but also helps attract future talent, showcasing TCA’s commitment to top-tier athletic facilities.
- Coach’s Endorsement: Working again with the same head coach who guided them in high school made the project even more meaningful, proving how strong the TCA community truly is.
Looking to the Future
This installation at Trinity Christian Academy isn’t just about nostalgia—it’s about setting a new standard. By combining our SportsGrass Max XF with a premium safety pad, TCA students now have a field that’s durable, safe, and built for winning seasons ahead. Most importantly, the field reflects the dedication TCA has to its football program and its student-athletes—a dedication that started years ago when Jason and Nick wore the same jerseys under the same coach.
Final Thoughts
For ForeverLawn Texas, installing a field at TCA was more than a job—it was a personal milestone. We’re proud to bring the first field in Texas with this special turf-and-pad combination to life, and we look forward to seeing TCA athletes excel on their new field for years to come.
