Routine Testing, Inspection & Assessment for Texas Athletic Facilities

You don’t build a championship team overnight. Similarly, exceptional athletic facilities aren't maintained by accident. At AE Sports, we specialize in the systematic, data-driven testing, inspection, and assessment of athletic facilities—because we know that great seasons begin long before athletes hit the field.

What Exactly Are Testing, Inspection & Assessment Services?

Simply put, testing, inspection, and assessments on sport fields and courts involve detailed evaluations of every aspect of your athletic facility; from playing surfaces to supporting infrastructure; to help ensure peak performance, safety, and longevity. Our comprehensive evaluations offer clarity about your facility’s current condition, highlighting strengths and uncovering hidden weaknesses

Areas We Evaluate:

• Synthetic Turf Fields (Football & Multi-Sport): G-max and Head Impact Criterion (HIC) testing, infill depth checks, seam integrity.

• Running Tracks: Surface hardness, thickness measurements, lane-marking accuracy, slope evaluations.

• Baseball & Softball Diamonds: Infield grading, lip and edge conditions, lighting visibility.

• Tennis & Multi-Purpose Courts: Surface condition, cracking, traction, perimeter drainage, and fencing stability.

• Natural Grass Fields: Soil nutrient analysis, compaction levels, thatch depth, irrigation efficiency.

• Indoor & Covered Facilities: Flooring safety, lighting uniformity, equipment safety.

• Supporting Infrastructure: ADA-accessibility paths, bleachers, restrooms, concessions, lighting.

If you own it, we can test and provide an assessment on it; even discovering issues you may not realize were there!

Why Regular Evaluations Matter:

Athlete Safety:

• Excessive hardness on synthetic fields increases concussion risks; regular G-max testing ensures fields remain within safe thresholds.

• Proper track surface thickness and resilience reduce athlete injuries, preventing common issues like shin splints and stress fractures.

• Regulatory Compliance:

  • Ensuring compliance with standards such as ADA requirements for accessible routes and ASBA guidelines for track geometry keeps your facility competitive and safe.

• Performance & Playability:

  • Consistent, predictable surfaces allow athletes to train confidently, boosting overall team performance and fairness during competition.

• Financial Stewardship & Longevity:

  • Identifying minor issues early—such as drainage problems or fiber degradation—can prevent costly emergency repairs down the line.

• Risk Mitigation:

  • Detailed, documented inspections demonstrate your commitment to athlete safety, greatly reducing your facility’s liability exposure.
