RIGHT TO DREAM ACADEMY’S DREAMS COME TRUE WITH EVERGREEN®

El Cajon, CA - San Diego FC practice fields get star treatment with EVERGREEN™ turf growth blankets!

When Mike Kerns, groundskeeper for Major League Soccer’s new expansion team, San Diego Football Club needed turf growth blankets, he came directly to COVERMASTER®. He had firsthand experience with EVERGREEN® RADIANT turf covers, with its specialized silver coating, designed to provide earlier green ups, delay dormancy, increase the turf’s growing season, and produce thicker grass with better color. The turf blanket’s specialized silver coating radiates additional heat back to the soil with up to 25% more heat retention.

In 2023, Kerns purchased EVERGREEN® RADIANT turf covers for Snapdragon Stadum. With the inaugural season starting the following spring, Kerns decided that the same turf covers for one of the natural turf fields at the Right to Dream facility were needed. The Right to Dream concept blends elite football training with world-class education and character development for student/athletes. In addition to school facilities and dorms, there’s a communal dining hub, a state-of-the-art sports performance center, and five world class pitches.

Just as the first set of four 90’ by 228’ rolls of EVERGREEN® RADIANT turf covers along with COVERMASTER® TARPMATE™ air rollers were being shipped, Kerns decided to place a duplicate order for a second practice field at the Academy. These industry-leading turf blankets have proven success. The EVERGREEN® new fabric technology provides the ability to create a greenhouse effect and delay seasonal dormancy. It’s the reason why expert groundskeepers like Mike Kerns keep coming back to COVERMASTER®.
