Baraka Sport

Baraka Sport LLC specializes in athletic facility consulting for synthetic turf fields and running tracks. Led by John Schedler, CFB, CTB, the company provides expert guidance on field surface evaluation, maintenance protocols, and end-of-life assessment for synthetic athletic fields. Their consulting services focus on field grooming, decompaction of infill, and safety considerations including G-Max testing to ensure athletic field systems meet safety standards.

The firm has worked on notable projects including Colorado State University's Sonny Lubick Field stadium and practice fields, Camp Lemonnier synthetic turf replacement in Djibouti, Africa, and Tinker Air Force Base artificial turf installation. Baraka Sport collaborates with ownership and design teams on both new field construction and field replacement projects. Their expertise extends to drainage systems, which they identify as a critical component of successful athletic field installations for both turf and track surfaces.

With over thirty years of experience in the industry, the company addresses the full lifecycle of synthetic fields, from initial installation considerations to aging field evaluation and replacement planning. Baraka Sport publishes articles in industry publications such as Sports Turf magazine, contributing knowledge about synthetic turf maintenance, field safety, and the evolving standards in athletic field construction and management.
