John Shelton Primary School, Coventry

Vale Sport and Leisure can offer a wide range of equipment and surfacing in both Sport and Play environment. Offering communities a place where they can have fun whilst keeping active is vital, especially with modern technology distracting the younger generation from keeping fit.

The team here at Vale Sport and Leisure were approached by John Shelton Primary School to design, supply and install an entire MUGA project, complete with surfacing outside of the MUGA and even a play unit for students that wanted to climb and play instead of playing sports.

“A cost-effective area for children and adults to enjoy lots of different sports and develop their skills.”

Client Brief;

John Shelton primary School contacted Vale Sport and Leisure with the works of supplying & installing a perfect environment for children to learn, have fun, whilst remaining safe at all times whilst doing so. Childhood obesity rates being at an all-time high across England, it is vital to allow the next generation of children to have space where they can take part in physical activity, this increases their levels of fitness, whilst they learn and socialise with children of similar ages.

Features Of The Design;

  • The surface inside the MUGA is a multisport synthetic surface, which allows games and training to take place in all weather conditions, as the surface is completely waterproof and complete with sports markings allowing a number of non-professional sports to take place, which is ideal in schools as the children just want to have fun.
  •  Alongside the surfacing markings, the MUGA is complete with a number of sports features, these include; Football penalty area details with an integrated goal, a basketball hoop and backboard and also a number of cricket wickets all within the one MUGA area. This appeals to a range of students who will have different hobbies, this is perfect for break time play as well as P.E lessons that can be slightly stricter and may contain more rule than the average group of youngsters playing sports purely for fun.
  • The heavy-duty fencing panels and the goal ends meet all health and safety requirements, with special designs in certain areas ensuring that children any user in or outisde of the MUGA is completely safe at all times, an example of these design features are the curved corners, reducing the risk of injury from straight corners, implementing a safety design and allowing sports to flow at a much faster pace, therefore keeping users interested at all times.
  • All MUGA projects are completely individual, with Vale Sport and Leisure being able to design and change features of the MUGA such as the shape and the colour of the fencing. This allows all project to customizable to suit a certain environment or design specification.
  • The open-back goal ends allow safe entry, Vale Sport and Leisure also completed the area with a Resin Bonded Rubber Mulch Walkway in a natural Green and Brown Blend.

The Result;

When it comes to dramatic transformations of areas, this project is simply one of the best, the once overgrown grass area is now almost unrecognisable, quickly becoming the main outdoor feature of the school and is now the most popular area for the pupils as they enjoy hours of fun in any form of weather.

The MUGA alongside the Play unit has experienced nothing but positive feedback from the students, the teachers and even pedestrians that have stated how nice the area now looks. The School was a pleasure to work with and both parties are delighted with how the project has turned out!

Vale Sport and Leisure are currently in the process of designing and manufacturing our very own MUGA’s, which gives the customer even more freedom when it comes to designing their very own project as we can offer that extra customizable option whilst maintaining the fantastic quality at such a great value!
