Synthetic Turf Campaign Announced for South County High School

The South County Athletic Boosters want their Stallions to play on fields that will stay green through the roughest of winters. The group, along with the South County Athletic Association, recently announced the Turf SoCo Campaign. The goal is to raise $1.3 million for two turf fields.

The man-made turf fields are rubber, and, according to the Fairfax County Park Authority: 

• Provide even playing surfacesProvide similar playing conditions to natural turf fields
• Need no watering or mowingUse no fertilizers or pesticides
• Can be used year-round and in most weather
• Do not need to be closed to protect or re-sod grass
• Have a significant life cycle with reduced maintenance  

The Boosters and the SCAA will hold the Turf SoCo Campaign kick-of meeting at South County High School on Tues., May 28, from 7-8 p.m. in the auditorium.
