Multi Sport, Tennis, Netball & Football
Opened in 1950, Calder High School, situated in the heart of Yorkshire, is passionate about ensuring their students engage beyond the curriculum; particularly in performing arts (they have the Ted Hughes Theatre) and sporting events and competitions.
The Brief:
This aim of this project was to transform a block of courts that were no longer working for the school or the type of activities they wanted to promote. We supplied, and delivered, a design that created a level area that was suitable for a large selection of sports. The school were delighted with the results and it has also transformed the scope of their physical curriculum.

The work was completed to our usual high standards, and Nathan Reid, Assistant Facilities Manager for the school said the following of the new Interplay surfaces;
“These new synthetic pitches will allow both schools to encourage more children to play sport, in most conditions and on an excellent new surface. AS Sports Systems did a brilliant job of identifying the correct type of surface for our needs, then proceeding to provide realistic and accurate quotations for the work that needed to be completed. Their team carried out their work in an extremely professional manner, and the synthetic pitches we now have are first class facilities. AS Sports Systems worked very hard to get the job done with little disruption to the daily activities of the schools. any problems were remedied swiftly by AS Sports Systems ensuring that there was little to no impact on the delivery time and the work was completed to the highest of standards”
