Facility

“South Wales Police FC are participating at the World Police and Fire Games which takes place in New York from 26th August 2011. We’ve been extremely privileged to have had the opportunity to prepare using the excellent facilities at the Cardiff City House of Sport. We can wholeheartedly endorse the facility and unreservedly recommend their use. We look forward to returning during the forthcoming season.”

“The Dragons have made full use of the tremendous facilities that House of Sport provides. The 3G training facility with its state of the art quality surface makes training a pleasure for the players. We fully endorse what they’re providing through their excellent facilities and staff, their professional manner is second to none. We fully intend to continue our partnership.”

“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.”

“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.”
