A school ground takes the worst use of any sports surface in Indiaseven hours a day, six days a week, 200 days a year. Across football, cricket, kabaddi, kho-kho, basketball and PE. We pick surfaces that survive the schedule, not the sales brochure.
Why school grounds are different
A school doesn't have one football pitch and one cricket strip, it has one ground that has to be all of them. PE on Monday, inter-house football on Tuesday, the cricket coach on Wednesday, kabaddi in the evening, parents' day basketball on Saturday.
We design school recommendations around that reality: multi-sport pile that takes punishment, line markings that don't fight each other, and a budget that survives the procurement cycle.
Six concrete things that matter for a school sports ground, written for principals and procurement officers, not athletes.
The 14K and 16K DTEX tiers were built precisely for repeated sub-200-day cycles. School-grade isn't an excuse for cheap, it's a different brief.
Football outer + basketball overlay + badminton lines on one surface. Our 15mm multi-sport range is built for exactly this.
A ₹50/sqft surface that lasts 8 years beats a ₹35/sqft surface that needs replacing in 4. We do the math with you up front.
Shock absorption, tested anti-skid, no sharp edges, no toxic infill. Datasheets we'll happily share with your parents' committee.
Non-infill or light-infill options. A weekly broom-down, a monthly inspection. That's it. No specialised crew needed.
From CBSE schools in tier-2 cities to international campuses in metros, we deliver. 5–10 day lead times, anywhere in India.
Most schools fall into one of these brackets. Each gets a different surface recommendation, picked for usage intensity and budget reality, not aesthetics.
Up to 500 students. Mixed-use playground, small football area, hopscotch, basic running.
500–2000 students. Football, cricket, basketball, kabaddi all on one ground. The most common Indian school spec.
2000+ students. Dedicated football pitch, cricket nets, and a separate multi-sport court, often with a stadium-grade brief.
Aggregate numbers from the 90+ school grounds we've supplied. Yours will vary, but these are the bands.
Most school grounds fall in this band, small playground to mid-sized multi-sport facility.
Surface only. Sub-base prep, fencing, line-marking budgets sit on top, typically 30–50% of surface cost.
With weekly broom-downs and monthly inspections. Stadium-grade tiers run longer.
From confirmed order to opening day. Sub-base prep adds 1–2 weeks if it's not already in.
