VERO BEACH, Fla., Nov. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The football stadium at Vero Beach High School, known as the Citrus Bowl, is sporting a new look after Hellas installed a Matrix Helix® synthetic turf system on campus. The field at the Citrus Bowl is named after former head coach Billy Livings, who led the Vero Beach High School Indians to 211 victories and 20 playoff appearances. In addition to the football field, phase one of the school's athletic updates included 6 beach volleyball courts installed by Hellas. New construction and upgrades in phase two include a new track system and Z600 LED Sport lighting.

The Citrus Bowl at Vero Beach High School has the only synthetic turf field in the Treasure Coast of Florida. The Matrix Helix® synthetic turf field installed by Hellas is named after legendary Vero Beach High School Football Coach Billy Livings, who won 314 games including 211 for the Fighting Indians of Vero Beach. Livings died in 2011.

The Indian River County School District chose Hellas, who had a safety solution in phase one of construction installing a Wave Sports Pad™ over laser-graded drainstone below the Matrix Helix® synthetic turf for superior vertical and horizontal drainage. Once the football field was in place at the Citrus Bowl, Hellas installed Ecotherm® infill to keep field temperatures 30° cooler than traditional infill products. Hellas installed six volleyball courts at Vero Beach High School for the Indians.

"We could not be more pleased with the performance of our phenomenal Hellas field." Vero Beach H.S. A.D. Lenny Jankowski

Leading to Vero Beach's adoption of a synthetic turf system, the Indians were often faced with sloppy field conditions due to poor drainage and regular rainfall on Florida's coast. To aid in drainage while also providing shock absorption for athletes, Hellas installed a Wave Sports Pad that facilitates superior vertical and horizontal drainage. In addition to rain, the Florida coast is also no stranger to extreme heat. To help keep the field comfortable and safe for athletes, Hellas installed Ecotherm® infill, which is known to keep field temperatures about 30° cooler than traditional infill products.

Vero Beach High School has the first synthetic turf field installation along the Treasure Coast of Florida, which stretches from Palm Beach County through the Space Coast in Brevard County. After one season on the new field, the Indians football team reports they've had fewer injuries than in previous seasons, losing only once at home.

"Our players are thoroughly impressed and excited," says Vero Beach High School Athletic Director Lenny Jankowski. "This has been a phenomenal surface to play on," adds Jankowski who is in his 13th season as Head Football Coach of the Indians. "We could not be more pleased with the performance of our Hellas field."  

Success was not limited to the football field for the Indians in 2023, the beach volleyball team at Vero Beach High School also reached the state final thanks in part to the six sand beach volleyball courts installed by Hellas near campus. With beach volleyball becoming a regulated FSHAA sport in Florida for the first time, Jankowski was excited about the timing of this Hellas install.

The next phase of upgrades at Vero Beach High School will include a Q3000 EpiQ Track® System installed by Hellas around a soccer field with a new line of Z600 LED lights by Hellas and is expected to be complete by early 2024.
