Shaw Sports Turf and Manning Passing Academy debut new practice field at Nicholls State University

In partnership with the Manning Passing Academy, Shaw Sports Turf installed a Legion Pro artificial turf field with the NXTPlay performance shock pad as part of a new practice facility being constructed at Nicholls State University in Thibodaux, La.

“The Manning Passing Academy is excited to establish a partnership with Shaw Sports Turf,” Archie Manning, executive director of the Manning Passing Academy, said. “Shaw shares similar values to our organization such as honesty, integrity and passion, making our collaboration the perfect fit. Additionally, they have provided excellent service and communication throughout the installation process for the new field at Nicholls State.”

Shaw Sports Turf’s Legion Pro turf product combines slit film and monofilament fibers into one complete system. The turf is made from recycled playing surfaces.

“We could not be more excited about our partnership with the Manning Passing Academy. The Manning’s impact on the game of football is second to none and we are honored to be a part of their continued development of young athletes.” Michael McLaurin, Shaw Sports Turf’s vice president of sales.
