The School Year Is Approaching. Is Your Sports Facility Ready?

Posted on July 11, 2018 by admin

Even though we’re at the height of summertime vacations and cookouts now, an undeniable fact is lurking at the back of everyone’s minds: school will be back in again before you know it. This is especially true for school administrators and everyone who works to get campuses ready before all the students pour back in.

Beginning-of-year preparation means getting all books, classroom supplies, and lesson plans in order. It also means prepping your school’s athletic facilities for all of the events that will take place there in the year to come.

The best way to do this? Athletic folding chairs are the ultimate option for any school sports facility. Why? Let us count the ways.

Flexibility

Bleacher seating is wonderful, but it’s fixed in place and can’t be moved and expanded to suit your audience. One of the things we love the most about seats like our Model 2617 Chairs is that they’re infinitely flexible. Set out as many rows as you need. Unlike fixed seating, folding chairs are portable and can be set up in any configuration, around any type of sports pitch, field, court, or swimming pool. This makes them a particularly perfect option for players, coaches, sponsors, and other VIPS who need to stay close to the action.

Customizability
Again, we adore bleachers and stadium seating, but they’re not as easily customizable as our SC-1 Sideline Chairs. You can choose nearly every aspect of these chairs, from the brushed metal frame color to the vinyl color. Even more so, we can customize each chair with our high-quality screen-printing process. What would you like on your chairs? Your team’s name? Its logo? Your school name? We can print any of these or all of them on the chair back, seat, and the front edge of the seat. Simply let us know what you’d like where and send us the images; we’ll do the rest.

Easy Storage
Just as easily as our Model 3400 Chairs can be put out and set up, they can be whisked away and stored when it’s time to use the gymnasium for a different purpose. This is why we’re proud to carry Clarin seating products. They’re lightweight and easy to store, but they’re also durable and will hold up to many seasons of being moved around, set up, and put away.
You don’t have to stash them away in a pile in a closet, either. Our Double Tier Storage Cart was created to keep your folding athletic chairs organized and safe when they’re not in use. Choose a cart that holds 36 chairs, and if you need more, choose a cart that holds 48. The chairs easily hang from the wheeled cart, which can be easily rolled out of the way when it’s time to store it.

Now that you know why athletic folding chairs are such a great option for your gymnasium or school sports facility, you’ve got to order in time for the start of the school year! If you have questions or need help placing an order, contact the team at Athletic Seating and we’ll be glad to help!

The School Season Will Be Here Before You Know It. Update Your Athletic Seating Now!

Right now, you’ve probably got that old Alice Cooper song running through your head:

School’s out for summer…
School’s out forever…

Like it or not, however, school won’t be out forever, and August will be here before you know it. While everyone’s gone for the summer break, it’s the perfect opportunity to update your gymnasium with some brand-new athletic seating and accessories. Here are some creative ideas that will have everyone cheering when they walk back in on day one of the 2018-2019 school year.

Courtside Seating

The majority of your fans are happy to cheer on their team from the comfort of the bleachers or stadium-style seating, but what about your players and VIPs? To truly work up your team spirit and show these folks what they mean to you, invest in customized and colorful courtside folding chairs.

Our Model 3400 Chair is one of the most popular options to keep your players and guests comfortably seated while the game is going on. Made in the U.S. by Clarin – one of the top folding chair manufacturers in the world – the Model 3400 features a durable, powder-coated frame that’s guaranteed to resist rust and stand up to a lifetime of use. Like most of our products, the Model 3400 folding chair is highly customizable. Choose from a variety of vinyl colors, as well as have your chairs emblazoned with your team’s name or logo on the seat, as well as the chair back. These chairs aren’t just comfortable; they also look absolutely stunning when lined up next to the court!

For your team’s VIP sponsors, set them apart from the rest with specialized seating. While our standard chairs are incredibly comfortable, the Model 3400C Classic Contour Chair has a seat contour that feels absolutely amazing. You can even trick it out with cupholders and customize the back or seat cushion. To truly take comfort to the next level, choose our VIP Chair. Also customizable, it has an upholstered seat and back is available with a variety of options from an auto uplift seat to various arm styles.

Scoring Tables

While your top fans, sponsors, and players are enjoying customized folding chairs, the entire crowd can be enjoying your brand new Scoring Table. Customize it with panels featuring your school, your team’s name and logo, as well as advertisements for various team sponsors. This is more than a great way to build team spirit; it’s also a fantastic opportunity to boost community pride! Scoring tables are available in 5-, 8-, 10-, and 12-foot models with either 1 or 2 panels.

Locker Room Seating

The team spirit doesn’t end once the players are out of sight, which is why you also need to update the seating in your locker room. Athletic Seating’s Model 123 Stool is a high-quality locker room stool that looks great is super-comfortable. If your space is limited and you need to be able to store the stools away in between games, our Time Out Stools are also perfect options. Both of these stools can be customized with your choice of frame and vinyl color, as well as your team’s name or logo on the stool seat.

School may be out now, but summer won’t last forever. Order early for delivery in time for the beginning of the school year! Have questions? Contact the team at Athletic Seating and we’ll be glad to help!

#1 Model Chairs, Made in America

Posted on April 22, 2018 by admin

Why Support American Manufacturers? Here’s Why We Purchase US-Made Products
In the United States, we certainly love our sports, and that love begins as we cheer our hometown teams on in school gymnasiums around the country. At Athletic Seating, we’re excited to help our country’s schools outfit their sporting facilities, from sideline chairs to locker room stools. We’re particularly proud that our sports seating products are manufactured right here in the United States.

Our pride in our US-made products runs deeper than just American patriotism, however. There are many good reasons why it makes sense to purchase American-made products. Here’s why Athletic Seating supports US manufacturers.
Buying American creates jobs in the US.

One thing every American wants is more jobs and a better economy. By purchasing American-made products, you help companies create jobs right here at home. When people have good-paying jobs, they spend that money in their communities. This, in turn, stimulates the economy, creating a positive cycle that boosts local businesses and creates even more job opportunities.

Goods purchased in the U.S. are better for the environment.

You might not realize it, but products shipped from overseas use a huge amount of fuel. This means that buying American goods helps limit your carbon footprint, as they don’t have to go as far to reach the consumer.

Many countries that produce lesser-priced goods do so at the cost of human rights.

The headlines are full of horror stories about the human rights violations that go on in Chinese factories that produce many popular brands of electronics, toys, clothing, and more. From people working an exhausting number of hours each day in dangerous conditions to being forced to live in absolute discomfort, as well as companies that engage in child labor violations, the mistreatment of workers in many of these facilities is sickening. Purchasing American-made goods ensures that the employees who made your product are being paid fairly, required to work a reasonable number of hours each day, and working in conditions governed by American labor safety laws.

Buying American goods helps ensure the highest quality.

One of the biggest complaints consumers have when they end up with a product stamped with “Made in China” or “Made in Taiwan” is that it often breaks, fades, or falls apart quickly. When products are mass-produced in sub-par conditions by underpaid workers, quality suffers, and it’s apparent in many foreign-made goods. When you see “Made in the USA” on a product or its manufacturer’s website, you know to expect durable materials and the best of quality.

At Athletic Seating, we’re proud to carry Clarin products. Made in the US, Clarin folding chairs and stools are built to last. Since the company was founded in 1925, Clarin has earned a reputation for building high-quality, durable, safe products for stadiums, schools, offices, and entertainment venues across the country.

After starting with the best American-made seating products, we then customize them with our signature screen printing process to ensure that your team’s name and logo will last just as long as the chair or stool does. If you’re not buying Athletic Seating products that were manufactured and custom-printed in the US, do you have any idea where your team’s chairs were made?

Budgeting for the Upcoming School Year? Show Your Team Pride with an Athletic Seating Makeover!

https://athleticseating.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=59&product_id=83

As unlikely as it may seem, the 2017-2018 school year will be drawing to a close before you know it. Once that happens, summer will zip by and the 2018-2019 school year will be upon us!

This means that it’s already time to start planning for next year – and part of that planning is putting together a budget. When deciding which projects will get funding and attention, it’s important not to neglect your school’s athletic program. These programs are an integral part of bringing the school together and building school spirit. They’re also important to help students learn the importance of discipline, perseverance, teamwork, and communication skills.

While funding for school athletic programs includes things such as uniforms and equipment used for play, it also includes updating your athletic facilities to keep them attractive and well-maintained. A huge part of every gymnasium and sports facility is the seating – whether it’s court-side seating for players and VIPS or behind-the-scenes locker room stools.
Why Does Custom Athletic Seating Matter?

If your school’s sports seating only consists of hard, wooden bleachers or standard metal folding chairs, planning this year’s budget provides an opportunity for a makeover. Custom athletic seating sends a clear message to everyone who sees it: your team isn’t just any team – they’re a team of champions.

When your team, its sponsors, and all of your fans enter to see Model 3400 Chairs customized with your team’s colors, name, and logo lining the court, it will send your team pride skyrocketing. You can even take comfort to a new level for your team VIPs with a few Model 3400C Classic Contour Chairs. The opposition will know they’re playing against pros when they see how you’ve outfitted your facility with quality athletic seating. You can also take things to the next level with colorful, customized scoring table panels that give a shout out to your team and its sponsors.

Team spirit doesn’t just happen in front of spectators; it also happens behind the scenes in the locker room. That’s why it’s important to make sure your budget includes room for customized locker room stools to provide your players with an attractive, comfortable place to rest as they recharge during halftime or celebrate after a spectacular win.

Win Big with Clarin

When budgeting for a sports facility seating makeover, price and quality are important. You need seating that’s affordable, but you also need it to look great and feel comfortable for years to come. That’s why Athletic Seating is proud to carry Clarin products – in fact, we’re the number one Clarin dealer in the country. This means that our customers know they can expect the highest of quality from our customized sideline chairs and stools. It also means that we have the best prices and can never be undersold.
