Project Overview

Shivalik Cambridge College, under the leadership of the Yadav family, maintains a progressive leadership where they continue expanding holistic education services in Agra. They recognized that sports development needed improvement through the establishment of a proper playing field among outstanding educational programs and first-class facilities.

Gallant Sports took responsibility for developing a multi-sport facility covering 18,000 square feet of empty, discontinuous ground. The completed facility presented itself as a dynamic playable surface that featured individual zones for football, volleyball, cricket, and kho-kho, together with running tracks connected via a single turf system over 18,000 square feet.

The Need

Students could not utilize the existing field at Shivalik Cambridge College due to heavy dust, uneven terrain, and flooding during the rainy season. Both student participation and institutional standards of excellence remained absent from the unusable field.

The school management needed:

• A solution to provide a durable turf with an extended lifespan to support multiple playing sports.
• A soft surface with excellent cushioning properties that suits young athletic players.
• Self-maintenance with minimal care while serving daily school activities and seasonal weather changes.
• A design that allowed sports participation between seasons.

Gallant’s Solution

Upon analysing the needs of the school, Gallant sports advised to install a 50mm multi-sport synthetic turf system, considering:

• The synthetic surface adapts seamlessly between sports since it delivers correct ball bounce properties on different surfaces.
• The estimated life span amounts to 7–8 years to fulfill school requirements.

The solution included:

• Construction starting with sub-soil drainage base preparation to drain water efficiently and prevent field stagnation.
• The installation of side drains to provide supplemental water drainage paths that direct water flow from the playing field surface.
• A ready-to-use system for athletic use after applying turf layers, which receive sanding and rubber infill.
• A versatile and complete sports zone enabled usage for football, volleyball, cricket, kho-kho, and even track running, making it.

Project Execution

The execution of this project included a sequence of the following detailed steps:

• The ground was levelled and graded sufficiently for a smooth surface uniformity
• The facility was equipped with sub-base and drainage installations, ensuring access in all weather conditions.
• We installed high-performance 50mm turf, which includes matching game indications established to fit the sports subjects at the school.
• The final stage included sanding together with rubber installation, which leads to optimal grip and safe function for balls.
• Multiple sports were accommodated on the same turf field because the surface was marked precisely to maintain both operational aspects and visual appeal intact.

Future Impact

The establishment of new sports infrastructure at Shivalik Cambridge College has started reshaping the school-wide sports culture. Key long-term benefits include:

• Encouragement of year-round physical activity and sports engagement.
• The institution will attract potential students together with their guardians as they understand the advantage of comprehensive student growth.
• This facility is set to provide balanced opportunities between competitive and recreational sports activities.
• Enhanced PE curriculum delivery with dedicated zones for various sports.

The Yadav family shows its deep commitment to providing quality sports infrastructure because of their commitment to developing this sports facility for complete individual development.

Final Thoughts

What was once an unusable piece of land at Shivalik Cambridge College Agra, has now been transformed into a vibrant hub for physical activity. The newly installed multi-sport synthetic turf not only serves as a high-performing athletic ground but also symbolises a commitment to educational advancement and future-oriented educational methods. Through the collaboration with Gallant Sports, Shivalik School proudly champions the development of young minds by fostering a culture of sports and holistic growth.
