"Here at Sunnyside High School safety has always been priority one. Your product is manufactured with this same priority.
FlexMedia is clearly a better alternative to playing on fields with stationary fences... We are grateful to you for
providing your fence on the field where the Arizona state girls' 5A softball championship was played in Phoenix this May.
Our team felt that the fence gave the park a professional look and helped make our championship game even more exciting.
On behalf of the Sunnyside Blue Devil coaches and players, we would would like to THANK FlexMedia for helping to make our
victory a memorable one. THANK YOU."

On Oct. 21, 2006, the Fountain Lakes Sports Complex, located in Bellefontaine Neighbors, MO, hosted a NSA sanction Girls Softball Tournament. Coach Brad Janis had his team, the Missouri Outburst, competing in this tournament. During the tournament Coach Janis gave the following testimonial:
"Katie ran full force and hit the FlexMedia fence just as she was turning to catch the ball - and her face made contact. The FlexMedia Fence did what it was supposed to do - it flexed when she hit it - and Katie walked away without injury! I truly believe that with any other kind of fence, my daughter would have suffered serious injury and would have needed expensive dental work."

"The FlexMedia portable fence is a great product – it’s everything a coach or director wants in a portable fence – and more! What impresses me most is how it improves safety on the field. I cannot think of another product since the introduction of the batting helmet that has done more to improve safety for kids playing ball!"

"The FlexMedia Fencing System is the best looking portable fence I’ve ever seen, and I can recommend this fencing system to anyone! It installs, removes, and stores easily and quickly, and it gives a stadium look to our complex. We use the fence to custom fit our field dimensions and to personalize fields for specific age groups and sports. The FlexMedia system also adds much needed safety to the game. We’ve had athletes crash into the fence at full speed and then walk away with no injuries. I would like enough FlexMedia Panels to fit 10 ball fields."

"I have been around the game a long time and this is a great product! At an NSA tournament last year in St. Louis, FlexMedia installed the fencing system, and throughout the tournament, the park was buzzing about how great they looked. Our umpires, fans, parents, players and coaches had even more positive remarks about the safety features of the fencing system. During one game, players and spectators witnessed a young girl run through the fence at full stride without suffering any injury. I’d like all my tournaments to use the FlexMedia fencing system – it’s a winner!"
Garnett Berbermeyer
NSA MO State Director
"Hazelwood Central had the privilege of being selected as a test site for the FlexMedia fencing system. After the Penning Family and our varsity softball team coupled up to assemble and install the fence on our softball field, the fence performed flawlessly! We were able to custom size a traditional arc at 210 feet for our outfield fence - converting our baseball field into a true softball field. My entire coaching staff was very pleased with the fence, and my athletic director was especially impressed with its safety features. I personally dismantled the entire fence within 20 minutes."
"Having the use of such a high quality piece of equipment at no cost is almost unbelievable! And, the revenue sharing program will help us tremendously! I urge all parks and schools to look into the opportunity FlexMedia Partnership offers."

"The Flexmedia fencing system developed by Dennis Penning is far superior to anything else on the market. The concept for this system has never changed from its beginning almost 5 years ago – to provide safety, flexibility, and revenue generating possibilities for athletic organizations across the country. When Dennis approached me about building the initial prototype, I had nothing to lose. We placed it on 8 of 11 fields for our first baseball tournament, and it was an immediate hit with everybody. From coaches, players, parents, umpires, and spectators, the feedback was nothing but positive. In particular, our fields were now “age appropriate” and even the 9 year old’s had a shot at hitting a legitimate home run. When a ball went over the fence for a home run, you could hear the excitement throughout the entire complex. As for durability, we had a maintenance vehicle accidentally run over a section of fence, and it returned to an upright position undamaged and ready for action. The current version is far superior to that first prototype, and when coupled with the sponsorship program Flexmedia is offering, athletic organizations have a winning combination that can’t be passed up."

"The FlexMedia fence is not only attractive, it’s clearly safer than a stationary fencing system. The flex and rebound features give it the advantage over fixed fencing. I’d like to see it on every ball field in the country!"
