Hancock Central High School

Sparta, GA

Overview

Capital Sports Construction, Inc. partnered with Hancock Central High School in Sparta, GA to perform a comprehensive upgrade of the school’s athletic facilities. The project involved a full conversion of the stadium football field to synthetic turf and the installation of a brand-new synthetic running track — creating a modern, high-performance sports complex for student-athletes.

These upgrades ensure reliable, all-weather playability, improved safety, and long-term durability, while elevating the school’s athletic infrastructure to meet competitive and community standards.

Project Goals

  • Replace the existing football field surface with a durable synthetic turf system
  • Install a new track surfacing system to support track & field training and events
  • Improve drainage and field stability to minimize weather-related downtime
  • Provide low-maintenance athletic surfaces capable of heavy use
  • Deliver safe, consistent, and high-performance playing and training surfaces for school athletics

Our Scope of Work

Site Design & Engineering

The first phase included detailed site evaluation of the existing turf and soil conditions, drainage behavior, and field geometry. Our team engineered a design plan incorporating proper grading, stormwater management, and base preparation to support both synthetic turf and track surfacing over time. The layout was developed to ensure compliance with athletic facility standards and long-term surface performance.

Site Construction

Construction involved removal of the previous natural field or outdated surface, followed by precision grading to set correct elevations for optimal drainage and surface consistency. We installed a compacted aggregate base engineered for heavy athletic use and efficient stormwater runoff. Sub-base preparation was completed to accommodate both the turf field and the surrounding track system.

Synthetic Turf Installation

The football field received a high-grade synthetic turf system designed for durability, athlete safety, and consistent performance under heavy usage. Components included a performance infill, secure seam and edge installation, and field markings appropriate for competition-level football.

Track Surfacing

Surrounding the new turf football field, we installed a synthetic running track using a multi-layer polyurethane surfacing system suitable for track and field events, training, and general athletic use. The surface was applied with proper base adhesion, drainage considerations, and finished to deliver athlete-appropriate traction, weather resistance, and long-term durability.

Project Highlights

  • Delivered a full stadium conversion: new synthetic turf football field + synthetic running track
  • Enhanced drainage and surface stability to reduce weather-related closures
  • Provided low-maintenance, long-lasting surfaces suitable for heavy school athletic use
  • Improved safety, playability, and consistency for football and track programs
  • Enabled year-round practices, meets, and games with a weather-resistant facility
  • Upgraded the school’s athletic complex to support competitive-level performance

Results

Hancock Central High School now benefits from a modern stadium and track facility that supports football, track & field, and school athletics year-round. The synthetic turf field offers consistent performance and safety, while the new track ensures reliable training and event surfaces. Together, these upgrades reduce maintenance demands, improve scheduling flexibility, and elevate the athletic experience for students and coaches alike.

The renovated complex enhances the school’s capacity to host competitions, supports athletic development, and fosters community pride in a durable, high-quality sports environment.
