Schools often have sports areas for physical education and sporting activities both indoors and outdoors. In this article, let's explore further the main aspects to consider when talking about safety in school playgrounds and sports facilities, especially outdoors.

When designing or redesigning a school sports area, it is very important to consider the following aspects:

1. Pay attention to an adequate floor plan in the area. This is important to avoid unevenness or defects that could pose a risk of falls to young athletes and students;
2. Improve slopes for proper drainage and passage of rainwater, and avoid surface stagnation which can damage floors and be hazardous to users. Drainage channels are often used on the outside of the sports area perimeter for proper rainwater runoff;
3. Apply a floor surface that provides adequate shock absorption;
4. Avoid rigid elements in sports and play areas, as they can pose a hazard if students and young athletes fall;
5. Make sure you install and maintain certified sports equipment according to established standards (nets, baskets, wickets, basketball poles, nets, etc.).

Datra has many choices for quality sports flooring or playgrounds that can meet all your needs. The most common floor surfaces in playgrounds and school areas dedicated to sports activities can be made of:

• Concrete with acrylic coating A concrete surface is a basic and economical solution, but it must be re-coated with an acrylic layer to make it suitable for use on non-slip and durable sports floors. Datra Color can be an economical choice of field surface for you.
• Synthetic flooring both prefabricated and "in situ" Synthetic surfaces are a solution that can guarantee adequate shock absorption. In addition, this surface is always recommended by international sports associations to be used as sports flooring. Herculan MF and Mondo Sportflex are popular flooring used in schools in various countries.
