Synthetic Multi-Sports Surfacing

Notts Sport is the market leader in the design and supply of synthetic multi-use games areas − or ‘MUGAs’. An artificial grass MUGA is ideal for customers with limited funding or space, wanting a full-size synthetic pitch that can cater for a wide variety of activities. Notts Sport MUGAs range from single court areas sized to Sport England’s recommended dimensions, through to full-size multi-use sports synthetic pitches.

The Notts Sport benchmark - Designing multi-use artificial grass sports facilities to meet performance standards for a wide variety of activities requires a specialist understanding of synthetic sports pitches and the performance for individual sports and games, including tennis, hockey, netball, football and basketball.

Notts Sport provides a range of surface and shockpad constructions to meet these requirements including its unique shockpad and performance control layers, plus sand-filled tufted and needlepunched synthetic grasses, sand-dressed tufted grasses and specialist 3rd Generation (3G) synthetic grasses.

The composition of the shockpad, performance control layer and synthetic grass surfacing will depend on the combination of sports you want to offer, meaning that every MUGA is designed to our individual customer’s needs.

Shockwave

We are delighted to be launching the new, re-engineered ShockWave Platinum product which builds on the success of the original ShockWave system without losing any of the original vision and values achieved to date.
Our original vision in 2013 was to create a new way to construct an artificial grass pitch eliminating macadam/asphalt & thereby launch an innovative base construction for sports pitches with environmental benefits and sustainable solutions over a 30 year period.

More than just a shockpad, the re-engineered 40mm slimline, denser ShockWave Platinum tile continues to offer long term peace of mind, reducing the need for quarried aggregate by 50% and provides a unique combined upper base and shockpad layer for Artificial Grass Pitch & MUGA solutions.

ShockWave Platinum complies with all FIFA Quality & World Rugby standards achieving over 2m critical fall height on a 50mm 3G grass and reducing performance infill requirements by over 50% or even entirely as new unfilled 3G products are brought to market where FIFA & World Rugby standards are not required.

Since 2013 there has been an increasing focus on sustainability across any number of measures including, but not limited to, environmental, economic & life time parameters means that increasingly ShockWave Platinum & the EcoBase System sit proudly as the leading solution for customers, specifiers and contractors.

Nottsgrass Indoor

Indoor Cricket Centres are highly flexible facilities that can be used for a huge variety of sports and activities but sometimes cricket performance and surface longevity are overlooked in pursuit of a short-term fix.

Our Indoor Cricket System has been designed following months of research within our R & D department to offer a solution to two main issues when providing a specific, permanent indoor cricket area, to protect the player from limb jarring and to provide a more realistic cricket performance if the building has a concrete base.

All year-round use − artificial cricket turf, historically used outdoors, was not designed for such intensive usage, so wear expedites, and resurfacing works are needed too frequently meaning cost per year value is poor with no respite from fundraising.

Notts Sport’s NG Ultra Indoor System was tailored to counteract the above problems.

With reference to performance the key element is the inclusion of a high-density shock pad which absorbs energy upon ball pitch to offer a more realistic bounce and response to spin and seam bowling. Without this specialised performance layer - a high, fast, loopy bounce, with little or no response for the bowler, not to mention a lack of underfoot comfort, is commonplace.

The top carpet lifespan enhancement was addressed by using state of the art monofilament yarn technology, bringing non-turf cricket surfacing into the 21st century. Such fibres, coupled with the high-density specification, is substantially more durable to long term wear and tear compared to that of old style cricket surfaces.

Inbuilt Coaching Aid Line availability adds to the coaching armoury and a range of colours further allows a client to personalise.

Powerplay Instant Cricket System

The Notts Sport Powerplay Instant Cricket System opens up incredible opportunities for coaching and recreational match play on almost any existing artificial turf surface.

Made in the UK, the rollout instant pitch can be installed and played on within just five minutes, the unique shockpad helps regulate a realistic ball bounce, spin and seam reaction. The durable surface offers player comfort with underfoot grip and boasts a long lifespan. The design also features stabilising strips so that the mat lies flat.

The Powerplay Instant Cricket System can encourage people of all ages and abilities to discover and enjoy cricket, it is particularly useful in areas with limited space and where traditional cricket pitches are not viable.
With many artificial pitches now surrounded with floodlighting, the game doesn’t have to end with bad light anymore but can go on until late in the evening.

The power to play cricket... instantly.
