Facility

“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.”

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

“To have access to an unrivalled multi-sport facility like House of Sport is invaluable to our learners. We’re able to offer a wide range of sporting education opportunities in an inspirational environment whilst also providing world-class training facilities for our teams and sports academy students.”

“We were struggling last winter with so many games called off due to the weather and with even our astroturf training facility unplayable at times, we were delighted to be able to use House of Sport where they gave us a great welcome and the facilities are superb – way beyond anything the players had been used to previously. It made such a difference to the players & management to be training on a Football League quality surface, that we took a block booking that everyone is convinced was a big factor in the winning run which propelled us back into the promotion race.”

“Cardiff City House of Sport has long been the number one choice for Footbubble as it provides a high quality facility for us to provide bubble football (zorb football). The state of the art training facility boasts an indoor FIFA approved 3G pitch which caters for our needs whatever the weather. House of Sport also has an indoor multi-sport court which also allows us to run our events.

Cardiff House of Sport has remained our number one choice not only because of the quality facility but also the dedicated staff who have been very helpful and supportive to our newly formed company. The staff have always provided us with an exceptional level of customer care and we’ve been impressed with the friendliness and responsiveness of staff. We’d go as far as saying that they set a benchmark in customer support, which other sports venues could learn a lot from. We’re always met with enthusiasm and professionalism when working with Cardiff House of sport.

Being located very close to the city centre allows for our participants to travel to and locate the venue easily, especially as it’s right next to the Cardiff City Stadium.”
