People of all ages, both boys and girls, men and women, are highly engaged in team sports. And athletic fields must adapt to meet the changing faces on the teams at play. Athletic facility directors can be challenged to make these adaptations, as athletic fields are often designed to meet the needs of one type of regulation team.
By design, athletic field fencing products help set field boundaries, create protective barriers for players and define the limits of a regulation playing field for a specific sport. But in reality, these same characteristics have led to scheduling barriers that limit the sports that can be played, reduce the regulation fields that can be used simultaneously, and create artificial barriers to achieving player safety, equity and revenue goals.
A permanent athletic field fence is sized for just one type of regulation play, and it often leaves out some of the very groups
facility directors would like to engage in team sports. While women’s softball and Little League games can be played on a field with a fence sized for a regulation-sized baseball field, the lack of a clear boundary for these sports can impact player safety, as well as the quality of the game as technicalities arise due to low-quality field boundaries.
When you want to provide the benefits of athletic field fencing without the limitations on the types of regulation teams your facility can host, consider commercial-grade portable fencing. Portable fencing solutions minimize impact on the quality of game play and enhances player safety at the fence line, while offering facility managers, coaches and
athletic directors an effective tool for improving equity across sports for men and women, boys and girls.
With a commercial-grade portable fencing system, you’ll be able to adapt your fields quickly. For example, a baseball or softball field can be ready for play in about an hour. You’ll be able to host a wider variety of teams and tournaments on your athletic fields while decreasing the infrastructure costs needed to increase your capacity. This makes the sports you host more equitable, while maintaining the safety and quality of the game.
