Notts Sport is launching a brand new portable cricket pitch, opening up a world of practice and matchplay opportunities for sports providers, schools, clubs and local authorities.

The Powerplay Instant Cricket System is a roll-out pitch that can be laid over almost any existing artificial turf surface, with installation typically completed in less than five minutes.

Exclusive to Notts Sport, the system is ideal for creating instant facilities for coaching and for recreational matches.

The performance layer is the key innovation within the Powerplay Instant Cricket System, delivering the realistic and consistent bounce that is unique to this solution.

The pitch surface itself has been specially designed to help players improve their technique by taking both spin and seam, while making it easy for the batsman to see the ball.

The design includes stabilising strips so that the mat lies flat, and the system includes a specially developed trolley which not only ensures the surface retains its shape and performance characteristics between uses, but also makes it easy to move, install and store.

The Powerplay Instant Cricket System is also porous, meaning play is possible even after rain, and the mat is accessible for wheelchair users.

The surface offers good grip, and enhanced player comfort, and can be used over a range of surfaces, including 3G and 5-a-side artificial turf pitches.
