Logo Chairs for Your Team

Posted on August 21, 2018 by admin

If you’ve spent any amount of time wandering around our blog, you understand the difference between a gymnasium or athletic facility that’s outfitted with high-quality, customized folding chairs and stools and organizations that settle for ones that are uncomfortable and unimpressive. If you’re new to Athletic Seating, we’ll sum things up for you. Comfort Is a Must
When it comes to taking care of your players and the VIPs who support your team, keeping them comfortable during every game is essential. That’s why products such as our Model 3400 Chair work so well courtside and our Model 118 Stool is the ideal solution for locker room seating.

Durability Matters

Every year, schools lay out their annual budget – and every nickel and dime has to be battled for and justified. Making a good investment on folding athletic chairs and locker room stools is essential. This is why we carry Clarin products that have already stood the test of time in athletic facilities across the USA for generations.

Customize Your Seating Any Way You Choose

Beyond comfort and durability, the final piece of the puzzle at Athletic Seating is giving our customers the ability to customize their products to suit their team, school, and athletic facility. On products from our Model 3-3400 Wide Chair to our Model K2-1 Stool, we offer customers a wide variety of choices. They can choose the metal frame color and vinyl color. Our products can also be printed with your school name, team logo, or the name/logo of a VIP or sponsor. Depending on the product, we can print on the seat, chair back or even the front edge of the seat (for maximum visibility).

Take Your Facility to the Next Level Perhaps you placed an order with Athletic Seating last year and are delighted with your purchase – or
maybe you’ve got an order in the works now and feel that something’s missing. Here’s how you can use our products to take your gymnasium to the next level.

Storage in Style Our Model 2617 Chairs are fantastic. They’re lightweight, are easily set up and taken down, and look amazing when they’re all laid out. There’s no better way to send a message to your team – as well as your opponents – that your school is in it to win it. What do you do with all of those chairs once the event is over? Don’t stack them up against a wall or throw them in a storage closet! To keep them organized and in top-notch shape, our Double Tier Storage Cart is an ideal accessory. Each cart can hold up to 36 or 48 chairs and can be sold with or without K braces. Our carts are heavy-duty and situated on wheels for ultimate portability. They also feature bumpers on each corner to protect your walls as you wheel them around.
For longterm storage, make sure you get a Double Tier Storage Cart Cover. No one wants to dust dozens of folding chairs, and this will ensure they emerge looking just as good as the day you stored them.

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!

Posted on June 8, 2018 by admin

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.

Do you have questions that we can answer to help you budget out new athletic seating for the upcoming school year? Are you ready to place an order? If so, contact Athletic Seating and let our team help you!

High-Quality Products and Printing

Posted on January 31, 2018 by admin

Athletic Seating Helps You Stand Out in a Big Way
At any sporting event, the goal is to go big and bold. This applies to taking the field, scoring points, and showing team spirit. The crowd on both sides will be decked out in bright colors, with T-shirts, banners, face paint, and signs cheering on their team and star players. And when your team is the home team, it’s important to proclaim your team pride. You can do this by outfitting your gymnasium with high-quality equipment that shows your team how much you support them and care about them.

A brand-new scoring table with your team’s logo and advertisements for your top sponsors will show the opposing team who means business. The best way to promote your team and show your players, coaches, and sponsors the appreciation they deserve, however, is by providing them with athletic sideline chairs and time out stools for the locker room. High-quality, beautifully customized athletic seating adds real class to your sports venue and lets your team know that you stand behind them.

Not Just Any Seating Will Do
Athletic Seating is an investment, so when you choose, you should choose wisely. Some sellers offer options that seem like a good deal in the short-term, but are poorly manufactured and warp, rust, or break down over time. That’s why for nearly 30 years, Athletic Seating has focused on providing the absolute best in athletic seating products. We choose products that are the highest of quality and made in the United States, working with manufacturers such as Clarin that have spent decades building their reputation in the seating industry.
When it comes to seating for sporting events, you need products that will hold up, which is why we stand behind our products and their durability.
Bright and Impactful Printing
With sideline chairs and locker room stools, durability is only half of the story. When you customize a product, it’s important that the printing stand out and that the colors be bright, glossy, and highly visible. Otherwise, what’s the use of customizing it?
The exclusive printing process used at Athletic Seating ensures that every product you purchase from us is glossy, vibrant, and beautiful. Compare them to the dull, matte designs put out by other custom athletic seating sellers and you’ll see that there’s no competition at all. Our designs stand out from the rest to help YOU stand out from the rest. And just like our products themselves, our signature printing process ensures that the stunning design you see on your stools and seats will last for many seasons to come.

Athletic Seating Solutions for Everyone
No matter the size of your facility or budget, we have athletic seating options for everyone. Our Model 2617 Chair is the ideal product to show your team pride in an affordable fashion. For a truly special option for team VIPs, check out our Basketball Sideline Chairs – a comfortable and streamlined seat that can be customized with your team’s name or logo on the seat back. Whether you need seating for the sidelines or behind the scenes, we’ve got you covered. Do you have questions about any of our products or need help placing an order? Contact Athletic Seating today and let’s get started!

Basketball Players, Coaches, and Sponsors: Are You Showing Them Love This Season?

Posted on December 29, 2017 by admin

Basketball Players, Coaches, and Sponsors: Are You Showing Them Love This Season?

As your team battles it out this basketball season, fans will pack the bleachers – wearing face paint, swinging towels, and cheering their favorite players for the win. Sitting court-side, in addition to your players, you’ll have the force that helps drive your team to victory. The basketball chairs that line the court are reserved for team leadership such as coaches and managers, as well as the all-important sponsors and other VIPs who make it all possible.

You can’t set up just any chairs in this section. Regular metal folding chairs are uncomfortable, blah, and send the wrong message to sponsors. Instead, order customized sideline chairs to outfit your facility.

Why do custom basketball chairs matter? Isn’t it really about what happens on the court – the finesse with which your players move the ball, how high they drive up the score, and how many wins they rack up to put your team in line for the championship? While this is all important, what goes on off the court can help boost what happens on-court.

This means supplying your athletic facility with high-quality basketball chairs like the attractive and comfortable SC-1 Sideline Chair. With 3 inches of padding on the seat cushion and 1 inch of padding on the backrest, it won’t leave people squirming and wishing for the game to end quickly the way unpadded metal chairs do.

In addition to this, it’s fully customizable. Choose your frame color, vinyl color, and send us the design you’d like to print on the backrest, seat cushion, seat edge, or even all three! Not only does this display your team pride to competitors and all who enter your gymnasium space; it also lets sponsors know that you mean business.

Athletic Seating has a complete selection of basketball chairs for all members of your court-side crew. The Model 2617 provides a more affordable, slightly less-padded option that’s perfect for team benches or even use in the locker room. For super VIPs, check out our Model 3400C Classic Contour Chair. The contoured seat provides additional comfort, and like our other basketball chairs, it’s fully customizable.

What About Behind the Scenes?

The vibe in the locker room before the game, during halftime, and after the buzzer sounds is important to amping your players’ spirit up. While team leadership plays the biggest role in this, quality locker room stools can help. They give your players a comfortable place to sit, strategize, and take a break during the action. Customized locker room stools let players know that they’re giving their all for an organization that really cares.

With its clean lines and sleek design, the Model 124 Stool is a wonderful option for any locker room space. Choose the color you prefer for the brushed metal frame, as well as the color for the vinyl on the 1-inch padded seat. After printing your team’s name or logo on the seat, you can place these stools in your locker room to boost your team and mark the space as your own.

To show Coach your appreciation for all of their hard work, take the locker room stool out of the locker room with our gorgeous Logo Wood Stool. Made of solid, heavy wood with a 2-inch padded seat and customizable vinyl cover, it’s the perfect addition to any office.

Both on the sidelines and behind the scenes, Athletic Seating gives you a way to show appreciation for all the people who make your team amazing.

#1 Sideline Chairs

Posted on November 17, 2017 by admin

Invest in the Best: Why Quality Matters in Athletic Seating
Athletic seating for your sports facility is quite an investment. This includes the sideline chairs that give an up-close view of the action, as well as the locker room stools that give your players a place to rest when they’re not high-fiving and celebrating behind-the-scenes.

Without the human element, your sporting event won’t amount to much, which is why high-quality, comfortable seating is key. Your guests and athletes need to be able to relax…and if you can customize the seating to proclaim your team pride, that’s an added plus.

Purchase Quality That Will Last for Seasons to Come
When taking the plunge into purchasing a large number of sideline chairs, for example, it’s important to do your homework and purchase from a reputable dealer. Why? Sideline chairs put up with lots of abuse! Players and spectators are regularly in and out of their seats during a typical game, whether they’re heading to and from the court or jumping and cheering (or angrily booing a bad call from a referee). For better or worse, your sideline seating is part of the drama.

Because of this, your sideline chairs need to be the highest quality possible. If not, after a season or two, they’ll begin to break down. Cheaply-made chairs have inferior frames that can’t hold up to constant use, and you’ll notice that they begin to warp, sag, and refuse to fold up. (That last one is a real problem when you need to store the chairs away in between events.) The metal on the frames can also scuff and rust, while the vinyl can start to fade and tear, turning your team pride into an absolute embarrassment.

Clarin Products Keep Everyone Cheering

That’s why Athletic Seating is America’s number one dealer of Clarin seating products. Why Clarin? We chose them because they’re the creators of the strongest and most comfortable sideline chairs in the industry.

Take their Model 3400 Chair, for example. A beautiful balance of style, comfort, and affordability, the Model 3400 offers a lightweight, all-steel frame that was designed to withstand everything that your players, fans, and VIP guests can bring. The metal is powder-coated, which not only looks beautiful but will help it stand up against scratches and scuffs as the chairs are laid out and put away for each of your events.

It doesn’t stop at the frame, however. Clarin products were also designed to look and feel top-notch. The Model 3400, for example, features a luxe 3-inch padded seat cushion and a 1-inch padded backrest cushion. Clarin also offers choices with more or less padding, as well as specialized seating options such as their VIP Chair – the perfect way to tell your most important sponsors and team leaders that you appreciate all they do.

Choose Your Chair and Let Us Make It Your Own

Once you’ve decided which seating option is best, let Athletic Seating go to work customizing it for your team or event and its sponsors. From a wide array of vinyl and metal color choices to placing your chosen name, logo, or sponsor information on our products, our custom-printing methods make each item truly unique.

3 Important Factors in Choosing Folding Chairs for Your Sports Venue

Chairs are just chairs, right? Wrong! When it comes to choosing folding chairs for your team or sports venue, you have a lot of options. In this article, let’s discuss the three most important factors to consider before making a choice.

Comfort Is King

No matter what type of seating exists in the rest of your gymnasium or venue, the sideline chairs you provide are the crème de la crème of the seating there. These chairs are set up in honor of the driving force behind every game and match – your players, their coaches, and VIPS such as sponsors who give generously to make sure that your sports program is a success.

Because of this, comfort couldn’t be more important. From more affordable options like our Model KI-1” Chair to the more luxe Model 3400, we offer products that provide the ultimate in seat and back padding. Choosing the perfect sideline chair is about more than just giving people a place to sit; it’s about showing your players and VIPs the respect they’re due.

Visuals Matter

So you’ve got the comfort level down pat. Next comes fine-tuning the look of your sports space. Since your team is your brand, don’t miss the chance to use custom folding chairs to promote it.

At Athletic Seating, we understand how much team branding matters. That’s why we provide sideline chairs that are infinitely customizable. Choose the color of frame you’d like and pick from an assortment of vinyl colors. Next, we’ll screen print your team’s name or logo on the back of the chair, on the seat, or (on thicker chair designs like the Model 3400) even on the front edge of the chair seat.

In addition to using custom folding chairs to promote your team, sideline chairs are the perfect way to give a shout out to the sponsors that make it all possible. They’re also a great gift idea for a beloved coach or team manager that deserves recognition.

Choose Chairs You Can Actually Use

Finally, overall chair design and quality should be a driving factor in your choice. Sideline chairs need to be lightweight so they’re easily set up and put away without a lot of hassle. (We suggest storing your chairs away on our Double Tier Storage Cart.)

Lightweight doesn’t mean chintzy, however, because athletic folding chairs need to be high-quality to hold up to years of use. What makes a high-quality folding chair? We offer an entire product lineup of chairs and locker room stools that are manufactured in the USA with materials that are designed to last, from rough and tough vinyl seats and backs to steel frames created to provide strength and comfort for game after game.

At Athletic Seating, we’ve been providing our clients with custom seating for over 30 years. What do you have in mind for your sports venue? Contact us so we can discuss the best sideline or locker room seating solution for your team!
