An ideal surface for a variety of games & activities: the nature of a MUGA pitch means it provides a great surface for a wide variety of games and activities which means it’s ideal for developing your pupils’ social skills, team building and collaboration skills, and their physical & emotional wellbeing – a MUGA pitch making a fantastic area for both PE sessions and after school sports clubs. 

Low maintenance with a long lifespan: MUGA pitches require significantly less maintenance than traditional grass pitches, therefore saving schools both time and money over a long term period, due to the fact that the material they’re made of is both hard wearing and durable. 

All weather pitches: made of synthetic materials, MUGA pitches are also known as all weather pitches and are therefore as equally safe to use in the rain as they are in the warm, dry, sun, providing teams with a surface to play and practice on all year round.

Achieve additional income from school lettings: MUGA pitches are extremely desirable to individuals and organisations running holiday camps and after school clubs due to all of the points listed above. MUGA pitches are durable and hardwearing, provide the ideal surface for a huge variety of activities and available all year round, making them a valuable asset to schools engaged in a school lettings programme and therefore hoping to maximise additional income from lettings.

In short, if you’re considering installing a MUGA pitch or launching a school lettings programme to achieve additional income to support your school, a MUGA pitch will provide a number of long lasting benefits to your school.
