THE WOODLANDS, Texas, May 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Woodlands Christian Academy and its players and teams are already noting a marked difference in athletic performance thanks to their new Pivot® Performance Turf field. Hellas, A TenCate Company, completed installation for the school.

Randy Hollas, Athletic Director for The Woodlands Christian Academy, shares that his athletes "feel like this turf responds like a natural grass field. Our players have commented on the footing, release and lack of turf burns."

Pivot Performance Turf requires no performance infill and provides athletes with a grass-like surface.

Developed by TenCate's Center for Turf Innovation (CTI), Pivot gives players a consistent, supportive, stable playing surface without the recoil that can come from traditional turf systems that use black rubber pellets.

CTI used biometric sensors during on-field playing sessions to evaluate how Pivot performed and the various forces that were acting on the players. The cutting-edge testing is paying off for the programs and facilities that have installed Pivot.

Hellas faced a tight deadline to install a Max Flo+ shock pad and Pivot turf at the Warriors' multi-purpose field during the 2024 football season. "We utilized the TWCA football team's scheduled bye-week and road game in October to install a 20mm pad and the Pivot turf before their next home game," said Hellas President Jeff Smith. "Our coordinated efforts allowed us to deliver this high-performance system to TWCA, providing their athletes with an incredible field for years to come."
