Facility

“We’ve always had difficulty in finding a suitable winter training venue so we were delighted and surprised to be able to secure a slot at the new prestigious Cardiff City House of Sport.

With an average of 24 U15 boys attending each weekly session, all players and coaches have found the indoor facilities even better than we expected with an excellent 3G playing surface, adaptable pitch layout, comfortable airy atmosphere, good location and parking, and very helpful staff.”

“We’ve been regularly using House of Sport for about two years and I have to say they’re the best publicly available facilities in South Wales. Joanna (Executive Director) and her team are brilliant, friendly, helpful and always available. The indoor 3G pitch is fantastic and the facilities at the House of Sport contribute to the fact that we regularly get 18 people turning up week in, week out.”

“Cardiff City House of Sport supplies excellent indoor sport pitches and a handball field for professional purposes.”

“Cardiff City House of Sport is a fantastic venue and has been very important in the growth of futsal. It possess’ great facilities, a high quality playing surface and is a great indoor environment for players and spectators to enjoy. It has hosted events from grassroots to UEFA competitions and will be an important venue in the development of the game for years to come.”

“In 2012/13, Sport Wales awarded a Development Grant of £50,000 to establish a ball sport hall at Cardiff City House of Sport Ltd based in Leckwith, Cardiff.

House of Sport, although linked to Cardiff City FC, is intended to engage with several sports, not just football, to also include basketball, futsal, netball, korfball, wheelchair rugby and wheelchair basketball to name a few. The project overall has been a huge success with increased participation in all sports catered for and a particular increase in basketball and women’s football. The project also has good engagement with BME groups and continues to go from strength to strength.

Cardiff City House of Sport Ltd presented a considered and inclusive approach to the project which allowed greater participation in a range of sports whilst also engaging groups from the community who previously wouldn’t have had the opportunity to use facilities such as this.

House of Sport has clearly demonstrated its ability to plan, produce and deliver on proposed project outcomes and outputs.”
