School Multi Use Games Areas Options

Our selection of sport surfaces for MUGA installations, include artificial grass and rubber polymeric surfaces. These low-maintenance options facilitate diverse sports and guarantee all-weather play.

Customise you MUGA with a choice of enclosure fencing systems and entrance gate options. Our versatile enclosure systems accommodate features like recessed goal ends, basketball backboards, and cricket wickets, adding flexibility to your Harwich sports facility.

Artificial Active Turf

Our range of artificial active turf is suitable for most sporting surfaces. Artificial turf surfaces not only offer year-round use and lower maintenance they provide a solution for everyday school sport. Synthetic turf gives an even sports pitch with improved shock absorption compared to natural grass. Our artificial sports surfaces provide consistent ball speed and stable footing, and are UV stable so will retain the colour for years to come irrespective of the weather.

Polymeric Surfaces

Polymeric MUGA surfaces are durable and resilient, capable of withstanding heavy use and harsh weather conditions. They require minimal maintenance and have a long lifespan, making them a cost-effective investment for Harwich schools.

Polymeric surfaces are designed to be impact-absorbent, reducing the risk of injuries from falls and impacts during sports and play. The cushioned surface provides a softer landing compared to harder surfaces like concrete or asphalt, making it safer for children to play and participate in a range of sporting activities.

Benefits of Multi Use Games Areas for Harwich Schools

Versatility

A MUGA with a polymeric surface can accommodate a wide range of sports and activities, including football, basketball, tennis, netball, and more. This versatility allows for a variety of physical education classes and extracurricular activities to take place within the same space.

Low Maintenance

Compared to natural grass, polymeric surfaces require minimal maintenance. They do not need to be mowed, watered, or treated with pesticides, reducing the school's maintenance costs and environmental impact.

All-Weather Use

Unlike natural grass, which can become muddy and unusable during wet weather, polymeric surfaces remain playable in various weather conditions. This ensures that children can engage in physical activities regardless of the weather, promoting physical fitness and well-being.

Improved Performance

The consistent and even surface of a polymeric MUGA enhances the performance of sports activities. It provides a reliable playing surface for students to develop their skills and enjoy competitive games.

Safety & Accessibility

Polymeric surfaces are designed to offer excellent shock absorption, reducing the risk of injuries from falls during sports and games. This is particularly important in a primary school where children are still developing coordination and balance. Polymeric surfaces can be designed to meet accessibility standards, ensuring that children with disabilities can participate fully in sports and games alongside their peers. This promotes inclusivity and allows all students to benefit from physical activity.

Durability

Polymeric surfaces are highly durable and resistant to wear and tear, making them ideal for heavy use in a school environment. They can withstand the constant foot traffic and the impact of sports activities without deteriorating quickly.
