Why Our Field Maintenance Equipment is Right for Your Athletic Program
High school coaches, college coaches, club coaches, athletic directors, and sports facility managers all share a critical priority: keeping their athletic fields safe, playable, and visually pristine. Bad weather and heavy use can quickly degrade an infield or turf surface, leading to canceled games and potential athlete injuries. Our comprehensive selection of field maintenance equipment is engineered specifically to give groundskeepers and coaching staffs the professional tools they need to combat the elements. For sports facility managers dealing with heavy rainouts, our high-capacity Super Sopper rollers act as massive sponges to clear standing water from turf and dirt rapidly. For baseball and softball coaches focused on infield safety, our steel and cocoa drag mats effortlessly level out divots and smooth the playing surface to prevent dangerous bad hops. Every rake, tamp, and drag broom we offer is built with heavy-duty materials designed to withstand the rigorous daily demands of a thriving athletic program.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between a steel drag mat and a cocoa drag mat?
Steel drag mats are aggressive tools designed to break up hard, compacted dirt clods and level out uneven areas on your infield. Cocoa drag mats use natural fibers to gently glide over the top of the dirt, providing a smooth, professional, and manicured finish without moving large amounts of soil.
2. How does the Dolphin Super Sopper remove water from a flooded field?
The Super Sopper uses a highly absorbent, sponge-like outer roller that picks up standing water as you push it across the field. The water is then squeezed out of the sponge and collected into a holding tank located in the center of the drum, which can be easily emptied off the playing surface.
3. Do you accept school purchase orders for large field maintenance equipment?
Yes. Morley Athletic has worked directly with schools for decades. We happily accept school purchase orders. Athletic directors and purchasing departments can easily submit a PO to streamline their field upgrade and maintenance projects.
4. Can your drag mats be pulled by hand or do they require a utility vehicle?
We offer various sizes to accommodate both methods. Smaller mats and flex mops can easily be pulled by hand by a single coach, while our larger options, such as the ProCage Monster Mat, come with a drag bar specifically designed to be towed behind a tractor or utility vehicle.
5. How do I maintain the lip of my baseball infield to prevent bad hops?
Infield lips occur when dirt builds up in the edge of the outfield grass. To prevent and manage this, we highly recommend using our specialized scarifier brooms, such as the 28-inch Infield Lip Double Play Broom, to sweep displaced dirt out of the grass and back onto the infield.
6. Are your field line markers suitable for both athletic chalk and paint?
Our Jaypro EasyLiner models are specifically designed to distribute dry athletic chalk smoothly and consistently, making them ideal for baseball and softball infields. For wet paint applications on grass or turf, specialized aerosol or liquid line stripers are required which are featured in our field marking section.
