Artificial pitches

Artificial pitches

Four sports have come together with Sport England and the Football Foundation to agree a new strategic approach to selecting artificial grass pitches. New guidance drawn up by the sports bodies will ensure the right surfaces are installed in the right places, delivering maximum value for investment in pitches.

The national governing bodies of hockey, football, rugby union and rugby league have all committed to using the new guidance for selecting the most appropriate artificial grass pitch. Sport England is recommending that all planners, schools, universities, clubs and local authorities that are considering installing an artificial grass pitch also follow the new guidance.

The guidance document sets out which types of artificial pitch are appropriate for each of the four sports – and at what level.
