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!

#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!

Why “Made in the USA” Matters: Tips on Choosing the Best Sideline Chairs

Posted on September 28, 2017 by admin

Customized sideline chairs are a bit of an investment and if you’re shopping online, there are many to choose from. In this article, our chair experts will detail the specific factors you need to look for in order to ensure that you’ll be completely satisfied with your chairs for years to come. Lightweight and Easy to Store

.
First, sideline chairs should be lightweight. This will allow them to be carried out and set up quickly and easily for a variety of events. In addition to being light and easy to carry, they should be able to fold flat for storage. Once folded, it’s a snap to hang them on our Double Tier Storage Cart, where they can be wheeled away until you need them again.
Made in the USA

.
Another factor that will ensure you’re purchasing folding chairs that will last? Look for athletic seating products that are completely made in the USA. This is one of the best ways to ensure quality. Why does quality matter? A folding chair is just a folding chair, right? Wrong!When you invest in folding chairs for your guests, you need the chairs to be durable and safe, as well as comfortable. That’s why we’re proud to carry the amazing Model 3400 Chair and other products made by Clarin – a company that’s been manufacturing seating products right here in the USA since 1928. Why Clarin?

.
For decades, Clarin has perfected the art of comfort and strength with its signature designs. The Model 3400 is a perfect example of that. The all-steel frame is built to hold up to years of use and abuse. The frames come in a variety of colors and are powder-coated to resist wear, tear, and rust. They’re truly the workhorse of sideline chairs.
When it comes to comfort, Clarin chairs can’t be beat. Their 3000 series chairs come with a variety of high-quality seat cushions and backs to keep your players and guests comfortable. For your VIPs, upgrade to a Model 3400C Classic Contour Chair with an amazing contour molded foam seat.

.
Clarin chairs won’t just look great in your gymnasium or arena; they’re an investment that will last. Other chair manufacturers import their products from Taiwan or China. Don’t be fooled into purchasing seating that will rust out or fall apart in a few years. For athletic seating, made in the USA is the way to go.

.
Here’s a bit of Clarin trivia: did you know that Clarin puts date stamps on all of their folding chairs? It’s quite interesting to be able to know how long ago your chair was made. Believe it or not, some schools are still using Clarin chairs that were made in the 60’s and 70’s!

.
Customize Your Chairs
Now that you understand the difference between American-made Clarin products and all the rest, it’s time to choose the best seating solution for your organization and getting them customized. The Model 3400 Chair, for example, comes in a variety of frame and vinyl colors. Once you’ve picked those, the team at Athletic Seating can work with you to screen print your team or organization’s logo on the chair cushion or seat back in an eye-catching, vibrant design!

Basketball and Volleyball Seating That’s Made in the USA

Basketball and Volleyball Seating That’s Made in the USA

As the seasons change, so do your considerations for athletic seating solutions. Now that we’re all back to school, we’re looking forward to the start of basketball season and volleyball season. In this article, let’s discuss what seating options can help make your events the best they possibly can be. We’ll also discuss why using the best manufacturer matters when purchasing seating for your team and spectators.

Spectacular Seating That’s a Slam Dunk

It doesn’t seem possible, but it’s that time of year again. Soon, your team will be sweating and pounding their way up the court, pushing their opponents to the edge and striving for that miraculous game-winning shot that flies through the air right as the buzzer sounds. Players and guests on the sidelines will be on the edge of their seats…but what kind of seats will those be?

With so many options available, certainly not boring metal folding chairs! To reward your players for all of their practice and hard work, let them take five on a Model 3-3400 Wide Chair that gives them plenty of room to stretch out. The 3-inch padded seat cushion and 1-inch padded backrest on these sideline chairs are more than just comfortable; they’re also customizable. Choose the vinyl color and have it custom screen-printed with your team’s name and/or logo to outfit your sports arena in style.

For your VIPs and top sponsors, leave traditional sideline chairs, well, on the sidelines. Instead, seat them in style with a luxuriously padded VIP Chair. They’re customizable, as well, and you can have color logos placed on the seat and back. From your players to your guests, send a clear message with custom-printed athletic seating.
Bump, Set, Spike! Seating for Volleyball

Also coming up fast? Volleyball season. Folding sideline chairs give you the ultimate flexibility in setting up for a volleyball event – whether it will be a single match held in a gymnasium or a huge tournament hosted outdoors in the sunshine. Comfort is a major concern no matter where the event takes place, but your choice of seating is particularly important if the action will take place outdoors. Chairs like the Model 2617 are comfortable and can be custom-printed, but they’re also light and portable. This means that they can easily be toted around and set up at a variety of events, inside and out.

Clarin: The Clear Choice for Athletic Chairs

All of the seating options in this article have one important thing in common: they’re all manufactured by
Clarin, a leader in spectator seating. Since 1925, they’ve designed and manufactured quality all-steel folding chairs. People love Clarin chairs because they’re attractive, as well as durable and comfortable. Over the years, they’ve been used by presidents and pop stars alike. Today, Clarin products are the only sideline chairs made in the U.S.

At Athletic Seating, we focus on bringing nothing but the best to our customers, which is why we’re proud to carry and customize Clarin products. What kind of seating solutions can we create for you? Contact our team today and let us get your order started!

Back to School!

Posted on August 3, 2017 by admin

Back to School Is Almost Here: Is Your School’s Athletic Seating Ready for the Season?

It hardly seems possible, but summertime is ending. As the cookouts and days in the surf come to an end, people are folding up the lawn chairs and shaking the sand off of the beach chairs – putting them away until next season.

For school administrators, though, the season is just gearing up. With back to school just around the corner, organizations at all levels of the educational world are shining floors, stocking up on books, and getting ready for an influx of students.

They’re also prepping for the crowds that will soon hit campus gymnasiums and sports facilities. This requires more than just cleaning things up and giving them a fresh coat of paint. It also requires shiny new equipment – from balls and uniforms to scoring tables and athletic seating that’s customized for their teams.

Why Customized Seating Matters

Next to what’s happening on the court, what happens in the first few rows of any sports arena matters most. That’s why uncomfortable, run-of-the mill folding chairs won’t do.

For one, this is where your players – the stars of your team – will rest and rev up in between plays. This year, bring them back and show them love with comfortable, padded seating. The lightweight Model 2617 Chair is portable and durable, with a one-inch padded seat cushion. For additional comfort, our Model 3400 Chair has three inches of seat padding.

The padding level isn’t the only option that’s customizable, however. Choose from a variety of vinyl colors, frame colors, and print locations to create a front-row lineup of folding chairs that promote your team spirit in style. We’ll screen print your team’s name, logo, or both on the back and/or seat of the chair.

Booster Clubs and Beyond

Our customized Sideline Chairs and Slip Covers are good for more than providing reserved seating for your players. They’re also ideal for VIP seating for loyal booster club members, sponsors, or others who work hard to support your team.

Behind the scenes, sturdy and comfortable Time Out Stools and Model 124 Stools keep your team cool and ready to go while they’re strategizing in the locker room. They’re fully customizable, as well, showing your team pride both on the court and off.

Is Your Team Ready for Back to School?

Your teams have probably been training to get prepped for the season. Meanwhile, your gymnasium, arena, or sports facility has likely been receiving paint, repairs, and updates to make it look like new. Have you put off placing an order for custom seating? If so, it’s not too late. Contact the team at Athletic Seating and let us get started on your order right away.

With over 30 years of experience in creating custom logo seating, we’ll walk you through the process to ensure that you get exactly what you need – and receive it in time for the start of the sports season. We understand that when it comes to the excitement of back to school, there’s more to the equation than reading, writing, and arithmetic!
