Playing programme
Competition, training and academy use should be defined so the surface pathway matches the actual users.

Sports Turf for Clubs & Academies
Club and academy projects often combine higher training loads with match use, coaching, events and defined performance expectations. LUTHVAR reviews the surface as part of the complete operating field rather than selecting turf by pile height or price alone.
Start project briefProject priorities
Start with the operating reality.
The surface should follow the people, sport programme, site and maintenance model rather than forcing the project into a preselected product.
Usage intensity
Repeat training, coaching and match schedules materially affect system selection and maintenance planning.
Evidence requirements
Any governing-body, consultant or tender requirement must be matched to the exact proposed system and installed-field pathway.
Lifecycle planning
Maintenance, repairs and future resurfacing should be considered before the field is ordered.
Relevant pathways
Open the systems that fit this project type.
Briefing questions
Resolve these before the surface is selected.
01What playing level and programme must the surface support?
02How many training and match hours are expected?
03Is formal product or finished-field evidence required?
04What base and drainage information already exists?
05Is an existing shock layer being considered for reuse?
06What maintenance equipment and staff are available?
07Who will install and test the field?
08What downtime can the club tolerate during replacement?
Tender & procurement
Keep scope and evidence visible.
Club procurement should make the exact system construction, evidence scope, installation responsibility and maintenance obligations visible. Replacement projects should not assume that existing shock layers or drainage can be retained without review.
Start your project
Turn the project type into a clear turf brief.
Provide the sport, use, dimensions, base, drainage, climate, maintenance, evidence and installation information that applies.
