MUGA pitch specification pitches are ideal for schools, colleges, sports clubs and local communities to use due to their ability to be used by various different sporting groups at the same time. These all-in-one spaces save the organisation money, resources and space that would be required to create separate areas for football, basketball, hockey and tennis at their facilities.
These multi-sport surfaces are made using hardwearing porous macadam surfacing and are available in a range of colour options to suit the surrounding environment. They have a high-grip surface to reduce the risk of injury and have coloured anti slip coatings applied to help users stay on their feet, especially when running. These surfacing types are also suitable for all weather conditions.
Optimizing Your MUGA Pitch: Key Considerations for Netball Court Resurfacing
If you’re looking for a more natural MUGA pitch specification then there are 2G and 3G synthetic grass options available to choose from, depending on your preferred sports and usage of the facility. These turf types may be sand-filled or sand-dressed, with the latter being more suitable for sports that require a high level of ball roll such as rugby and football. The 3G surfacing can be short pile or long pile with a silica and rubber crumb infill, which can provide shock absorption properties to reduce the impact on the player’s muscles and joints.
Choosing the right MUGA pitch specification is important, particularly as the sports people will depend on the facilities to improve their performance and keep them healthy. You’ll also be able to attract a range of local sports clubs and community groups to your MUGA, helping to bring in additional income for your organisation.
