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 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.”

“House of Sport is an excellent venue offering great all weather pitch facilities, including a modernised waiting area and refreshments to ensure a good family environment that is ideal to our needs at grass roots football. Ourselves at Ely Rangers FC never hesitate to take up the opportunity to utilise the facility as it truly caters for every need we could ask for whether it be a structured training session or friendly match. We cannot speak highly enough of the place or the staff so would recommend to all!”

“We’ve been using the facilities at House of Sport for almost a year now. We use the 3G pitch for football training. In the last year we’ve noticed improvements to an already fantastic venue. The management team are always improving its facilities to make it a better experience. The recent update to the parking has been welcomed.

What really makes the HOS the venue of choice for us is the members of staff.  Nothing is too much to do. They are fully trained to assist with any injuries and always on hand with first aid.

Credit goes to Rod (Facility Assistant) and Jo (Executive Director) who really make it a pleasure to use such a fantastic venue in Cardiff.

House of Sport really is the best facility in Wales and one we look to use for many more years.”

“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.”
