Q: Why choose NFL FLAG DE?

• State of the Art Facility:  DE Turf is Southern Delaware's premier sports facility. No matter what the weather conditions are, day or night, DE Turf will provide athletes with a safe, clean, and friendly atmosphere for your sports enjoyment.

• Turf Fields:  They are much more durable than grass. They allow better access and can be played on in any weather.  They allow youth sports organizations practice space; they might not otherwise have. Spring and Fall rains can result in many cancellations of games and practices slated for grass fields. One game on a muddy field can ruin the field for the rest of the season.
