The Joe Nuxhall Miracle League Fields

On Friday March 30th, employees from The Motz Group - field and office staff - spent the day installing turf and infilling Envirofill® for the Joe Nuxhall Miracle League Fields.  You might be thinking that we installed the baseball turf, since that's something we do quite often.  Not so this time!  We actually installed two landscape areas in front of what will soon be the concession area. The ball fields of the Miracle League Field will actually be made of rubber.  A durable, spongy, painted rubber surface that will allow wheelchair-bound individuals or individuals with trouble walking to play safely.

The Miracle League Fields are making it possible for handicapped children to play baseball.  It's enough to bring a tear to your eye when you see the joy on the children's faces that might not have ever had a chance to play a sport that so many of us take for granted.  


We, at The Motz Group, consider ourselves very lucky to have had a chance to be a small part of this enormous project that will touch the heart and souls of so many children and families!


Special thanks to Kim Nuxhall and Cliff Bown for your hospitality and education regarding this wonderful project.

TMG • Committed to Quality

Another TMG Certified Field Builder.  Just one more way that The Motz Group is showing commitment to and focus on quality.  


Paul Schinner, Vice President of Operations for The Motz Group,  has earned his American Sports Builders Association (ASBA) Certified Field Builder (CFB) certification.   


"We are really proud of this recognition for Paul" says Zach Burns, President of Cincinnati based Motz Group.  "TMG promotes and encourages professional and personal growth throughout its employees.  Paul's hard work and commitment to building top notch athletic fields is apparent.  His recognition is well deserved."


The CFB program was developed by the ASBA to help raise professional standards and improve the practice of field construction.  The CFB designation is awarded to individuals who have passed a comprehensive examination to demonstrate knowledge of all facets of sports field construction.  The ASBA's certification program has become recognized as the standard of achievement for sports facility construction.  CFB implies an overall knowledge of sports field construction and maintenance, for both natural grass and synthetic turf facilities.


Burns continued, "The Motz Group is only one of 24 sports field construction companies that have a Certified Field Builder on staff, and one of only 8 that have two! Paul is the second person on our team to receive such a high honor."
