Deland, Florida – Putterman Athletics has been named a recipient of the ASBA Game Changer Award, presented by the American Sports Builders Association (ASBA), in recognition of its innovative AcoustiPad™ Safety Padding system. The award honors products and solutions that significantly advance safety, performance, and sustainability in sports facility design and construction.
AcoustiPad™ (Patent Pending) represents a breakthrough in athletic facility padding by combining impact protection with industry-leading sound absorption. Engineered with a patent-pending design, AcoustiPad features a 2-inch high-density foam core wrapped in a durable, synthetic open-mesh fabric, allowing sound to dissipate rather than reflect. Independent testing shows the product can reduce sound echo by more than 98%, dramatically improving acoustics in loud, reverberant indoor and covered sports environments.
“We developed AcoustiPad to solve a growing challenge facing today’s sports facilities—how to balance safety, performance, and community impact,” said Randy Futty, Executive Vice President of Business Development of Putterman Athletics. “We are honored that ASBA recognized AcoustiPad as a Game Changer, validating our commitment to innovation that improves both the athlete and spectator experience.”
Designed for pickleball, tennis, basketball, volleyball, and other indoor or covered facilities, AcoustiPad not only enhances player safety and comfort but also addresses noise concerns that can affect facility usability and the player experience. The system is available in custom sizes and colors, offers easy installation, and delivers a clean, professional aesthetic.
The ASBA Game Changer Award highlights products that reshape industry standards, and AcoustiPad exemplifies this mission by transforming how facilities manage sound without compromising safety or design.
