Local Football Facility Plan Warwick District

Full report

Introduction

01

This is the Local Football Facility Plan (LFFP) for Warwick District. It was prepared by Knight, Kavanagh and Page (KKP) with support from local partners, including:

  • Warwick District Council
  • Birmingham County Football Association
  • Football Foundation
  • Sport England
  • Sky Blues in the Community

What is the goal?

Every local area in the Country will have a LFFP to enable investment in football facilities to be accurately targeted.

Who is behind this?

The Football Association, the Premier League and Sport England (on behalf of Government). This partnership finances the National Football Facility Strategy (NFFS) and commissions the Football Foundation to deliver it.

What is the purpose of this plan?

The national funding partners have significantly increased investment to accelerate efforts to deliver more and better football facilities for the grassroots game. The purpose of this plan is to identify the priority projects for potential investment in Warwick District.

National Context 1.png

Why invest in football facilities?

As the nation’s most popular team sport, football has the power to contribute positively to vital social outcomes and health priorities. To maximise this power, facilities have to be welcoming environments to attract first-time users and repeat visits, whether for informal, recreational or competitive football.

Research clearly and continually demonstrates the positive impact high-quality football facilities, in the right locations, can have on participation and enjoyment. Latent demand exists, but facility quantity and quality has to ‘step up’ if football is to reach out to everyone.

How are we going to do it?

£1.3billion has been spent by football and Government since 2000 to enhance existing football facilities and build new ones. However, more is needed if football and Government’s shared objectives for participation, individual well-being and community cohesion are to be achieved.

Nationally, direct investment will be increased – initially to £69 million per annum from football and Government (a 15% increase on recent years). Locally, the work has already started* - this LFFP will guide the allocation of 90% of national funds and forge stronger partnerships with local stakeholders to develop key sites. This, together with local match-funding will deliver over one billion pounds of investment into football facilities over the next 10-years.

What are the priorities for investment?

This LFFP, with guidance from local partners, has developed a list of high level projects for potential investment. Each is aligned to the investment priorities set out in the National Football Facilities Strategy, which include:

  • 1,000 new 3G football turf pitches (FTPs): in a mix of sizes and settings, dependent upon local needs. All aimed at enhancing the quality of the playing experience.
  • 20,000 improved natural-turf pitches: to help address drop-off due to a poor playing experience.
  • 1,000 new changing pavilions / clubhouses: all linked to priority sites.
  • Small-sided facilities: to grow the small-sided game for teams & leagues, recreational and informal play.

What outcomes will be achieved?

The priority projects for potential investment identified in this plan will help develop a sustainable network of quality facilities to drive participation across all parts of the game. Central to this are five key success factors: quality, inclusivity, sustainability, engagement and usage. Each identified project takes account of these factors.

How should this plan be used?

This LFFP will, in effect, be the go-to document for football facility investment in Warwick District.

Whilst it identifies priority projects for potential investment, it does not guarantee the success of future funding applications. Each project must still follow an application process to show how it will deliver key participation outcomes, become a quality & sustainable facility and demonstrate suitable match-funding.

When each project is in a position to proceed, the Football Foundation will determine a suitable timeframe to submit a grant application and pre-application support will be provided by Birmingham County FA and the Football Foundation.

Set a 10-Year vision to transform local football facilities
Identify priority projects to be delivered
Act as an investment portfolio for projects that require funding
Be updated on a regular basis

How should this plan NOT be used?

A LFFP is an investment portfolio of priority projects for potential investment - it is not a detailed demand and supply analysis of all pitch provision in a local area. It cannot be used as a replacement for a Playing Pitch Strategy (PPS) and it will not be accepted as an evidence base for site change of use or disposal.

A LFFP will however build on available/existing local evidence and strategic plans and may adopt relevant actions from a PPS and/or complement these with additional investment priorities.

Local Authority

Warwick District Council’s Local Plan commits it to encourage healthy lifestyles by providing opportunities for formal and informal physical activity, exercise, recreation and play. The Council's vision is "to make Warwick District a great place to live, work and visit." One of the plans objectives is to 'enable the Districts infrastructure to improve and support growth'. Within a sporting context, this is identified as "enabling the maintenance of and qualitative improvements to sporting and leisure facilities, including enhancing opportunities for culture and tourism. This will include sustaining a flexible supply of land and buildings for sport and recreation of the right quality and in the right location, which can meet people's current and future needs and support healthy lifestyles".

The local authority is currently in the process of updating its Playing Pitch Strategy.

County Football Association

Warwick District is covered by Birmingham County FA which provides governance and development support to all aspects of local football including coaches, referees, volunteers, clubs and leagues; supporting football for all. The County FA has a designated facilities investment lead officer who works to ensure the right facilities are located in the right locations.

Football Foundation

The Regional Engagement Manager and Regional Technical Project Manager at the Football Foundation work collaboratively with the County FA to provide pre-application support to priority projects for potential investment.

Local Partners 1.png
Local Partners 2.png

Sport England

Has a network of planning managers who have a statutory role in the planning system to protect playing fields and provide consultation responses to planning applications relating to sporting facilities. They also play a key role in strategic planning for sports facilities, providing advice and support to local authorities to assess need for facilities in their local area.

Professional club community organisations (CCOs)

These continue to expand and enhance their range of community delivery, offering a variety of programmes and services to support local communities (sporting and non-sporting). On occasion Sky Blues in the Community (Coventry City) runs a variety of health, education, engagement, football and sporting activities within the local area.

Local leisure operator

Everyone Active is the key operator in Warwick District. The organisation currently operates a range of key sites including Castle Farm Recreation Centre, St Nicholas Park Leisure Centre, Newbold Comyn Leisure Centre and Meadows Community Sports Centre. All of these sites have grass pitches which are used for affiliated football. Everyone Active also manages the 3G FTPs at John Atkinson Sports Centre (Myton School) and Kenilworth School, which are well used for affiliated team training and recreational pay and play football.

Local Consultation

This has taken place with a broad and diverse set of community groups in Warwick District. 19 individuals (representing 14 local organisations) were consulted. These include:

  • Racing Club Warwick
  • Leamington FC Community Scheme
  • Warwick District Council
  • Lillington Juniors FC

(See Appendix B for full list of consultees)

Clubs

There are over 91,000 community football teams in England, spread over an expansive network of clubs and leagues. Warwick District has a total of 272 teams, which is higher than local areas of a similar size.

The FA is investing to support clubs both on and off the pitch which includes an aim to have a qualified FA coach with every youth team by 2020/2021. In addition, it will support 1,000 clubs to create full player pathways from youth to adult teams and develop 150 community football hubs with male and female pathways, disability and recreational playing opportunities.

Over the last ten years there has been a significant national increase in the number of large multi-team football clubs. In Warwick District, ten clubs have more than ten registered teams. The largest of these (based upon 2017-2018 affiliation data) are:

  • Leamington FC - 28 teams
  • Alvis - 27 teams
  • Lillington Juniors - 22 teams
  • Leek Wootten - 14 teams
  • Central Ajax - 13 teams
  • Warwick Juniors - 12 teams
  • Coventry Sporting - 12 teams
  • Racing Club Warwick - 11 teams
  • Kenilworth Town – 11 teams
  • Kenilworth Wardens – 11 teams
  • Mid Warwickshire Junior Football League

Affiliated Teams

272 Teams
  • 46 Adult male teams
  • 5 Adult female teams
  • 115 Youth male teams
  • 13 Youth female teams
  • 1 Disability teams
  • 93 Mini-soccer teams

*The FA Whole Game System - Season 2017/18

Leagues

Six leagues operate in Warwick District. They offer competitive opportunities for many different players, including women and girls, youth and adults. While there are no specific league opportunities for disability football within Warwick, there is however suitable provision provided in neighbouring Coventry.

Warwick District's largest local leagues (2017-2018) include:

  • Coventry & Warwickshire Youth football League – 383 teams– home and away
  • Central Warwickshire Girls and Women’s League – 149 teams– home and away
  • Coventry & Warwickshire U7/U8 League – 97 teams– home and away

The County FA reports that there is low level cross boundary migration in Warwick District due to teams migrating outwards to the Coventry Alliance League.

Disability football

There are 9.4 million people in England with a long-standing limiting disability, illness or condition which equates to 18% of the population – almost one in five. Football playing opportunities should be flexible, inclusive and accessible for everyone, whatever their level of ability. This could entail inclusion in mainstream activity or teams / sessions specifically for people with a disability.

In Warwick District there are two football teams / sessions specifically for people with a disability. It is a priority of the County FA to grow and sustain this provision. For talented players the FA runs Regional Centres and England national squads.

Local Football 1.png
Local Football 2.png

Women and girls

The FA has big ambitions for the female game and aims to double levels of participation by 2020. To achieve this requires a combined effort across four pathways: education, recreation, competition and talent.

Education environments have a huge impact on the first experience of football for young girls. This pathway can offer many opportunities for females of all ages to develop and grow a lifelong interest in football.

FA Wildcats girls football centres provide the first step on the recreational pathway, the programme provides girls aged 5-11 with regular opportunities to play football in a fun and engaging environment. Warwick District has three FA Wildcats girls football centres and the priority is to grow this activity.

At 19, Warwick District's number of female teams is comparable to local areas of a similar size. The County FA’s priority is to support existing clubs to grow and encourage more clubs to develop playing opportunities for females. The local girls league is the Central Warwickshire Girls and Woman’s League and matches are played on a home and away basis. The league is expected to grow its provision in future years. The local adult female league is the Birmingham County Women’s League and matches are played home and away and the league is expected to grow its provision in future years.

For talented players, the most local FA Regional Talent Club (RTC) is Aston Villa or Birmingham City Ladies which is located in Birmingham or Redditch. Higher level talent pathway opportunities are also provided regionally and nationally by the FA, culminating in the England Women’s national squads. The most local Women’s Super League team is Birmingham City Ladies which provides player pathway opportunities for gifted and talented female players and a spectator interest for fans.

Small-sided football

Many different types of small-sided football are played in England, from teams and leagues to recreational and informal. It is an established and important part of the modern game.

Arrow and tshirts.png

Small-sided teams & leagues are organised and competitive activities; typically with players registered to clubs and affiliated to leagues and their County FAs. Examples include Futsal and local small-sided leagues running at venues such as sports halls, 3G FTPs or small-sided 3G centres.

Key local providers include:

  • Leisure Leagues, Aylesford School
  • Powerplay, Myton School

Futsal is an exciting, fast-paced, small sided team game that is widely played across the world. Typically it’s played on an indoor surface with hockey-sized goals and a size 4 football with reduced ball bounce. It is the FA’s aim to ensure Futsal is available across the country.

There is currently one futsal team in Warwick District that plays in the BUCS Men’s Futsal League at key site locations including Warwick University. It is a priority for the County FA to grow Futsal for male/ female/ youth/ adult players .

Small sided 1.JPG
Small sided 2

Recreational football

Recreational football is played where facilities are typically booked and there might be someone to help organise. Examples include FA Just Play sessions, walking football and casual pitch hire for small-sided match play.

There are not currently any FA Just Play Centres in Warwick District. Walking football sessions are delivered by a range of community organisation such as Sky Blues in the Community. Walking football and Just Play are areas that the County FA has prioritised for further growth. Other local recreational football programmes include Man v Fat.

Informal football

Informal football is played in local parks and green spaces – it is free, open access and often played spontaneously (normal clothing is worn). Common examples include a kick-about at a local park or on a multi-use games area (MUGA).

Currently, informal football in Warwick is played across of the District. Newbold Comyn and Castle Farm Recreation Centre are key site locations that are heavily used.

Summary

The key strengths of local football in Warwick District include youth, mini and adult provision and it is recommend that this is sustained and also encouraged to grow further. However, gaps in provision do exist, these include disability, futsal and recreational football.

It is therefore recommended that the future football development priorities for Warwick District are:

  1. Retain and grow women & girls football
  2. Retain and grow disability football
  3. Retain and grow Futsal
  4. Retain and grow Recreational football
  5. Retain and grow Wildcats Centres

The facilities required to assist this are now set out in the Assets and Opportunities section.

Additionally, each priority project that progresses to a funding application via the Football Foundation will produce a detailed ‘site development plan’ specifying all football development activity, usage and key partner engagement. .

Assets and Opportunities

03

This section reviews existing football facility assets in Warwick District. It identifies current issues and presents opportunities for improvements, including a list of priority projects for potential investment.

Local assets and opportunities have been reviewed inline with four investment priorities:

  1. 3G FTPs
  2. Improved grass pitches
  3. Changing room pavilions / clubhouses
  4. Small-sided facilities

To ensure a consistent and high quality approach, each local area has been reviewed applying a standard approach, supplemented by input from consultation with local partners and stakeholder organisations.

While each investment priority is reviewed individually, it is understood that they can be inter-reliant; account is, thus, taken of these potential connections.

3G Football Turf Pitches (FTPs)

3G FTPs are a high quality and indispensable part of modern football facilities; their impact cannot be underestimated. In recent years the industry has seen major innovations and improvements to artificial surfaces (and sports lighting). This has created playing surfaces that replicate a good standard natural turf pitch whilst significantly increasing levels of use (x20). All FTPs must have sports lighting to achieve this.

The high quality, consistent playing surface is the ideal environment to play the game and for young people to learn. With regular maintenance programmes, FTPs can be heavily used all year round with no decline in quality. They almost completely negate annoying fixture cancellations during winter months, helping football to be a key part of a regular physical activity habit.

High capacity levels offer a great opportunity to embrace all formats and engage all participants. A full-sized 3G caters for an average of 1,200 participants per week and is suitable for various location types. That means being fully inclusive to all sections of the community, with a particular focus on under-represented groups such as women and girls, people with a disability, BAME communities and people from lower socio-economic groups.

The way 3G FTPs are used is rapidly changing; current line-marking systems allow for match play across all formats of football (5v5, 7v7, 9v9 and 11v11). This enables significant levels of match-play to be transferred from grass to 3G.

3G 1.png
3G 2.png

Assets and opportunities

FA data states that there are currently three full sized 3G FTPs in Warwick District; this is a shortfall of four pitches relative to assessed demand.

Existing 3G FTPs in Warwick District include:

  • Meadows Community Sports Centre - full size
  • John Atkinson Sports Centre (Myton School) - full size
  • University of Warwick (Cryfield Campus) - full size*
  • Stoneleigh Village Hall - small sided (small sized 5v5)

*Consultation identifies that the 3G FTP at the University of Warwick is primarily used by students, with community use limited to 1-2 hours per week.

Additionally, there are currently no small-sided 3G FTP centres in Warwick District.

The following sites are already being proposed without funding from the Football Foundation:

  • Leamington FC (Europa Way): This is part of wider development for a 5,000 capacity stadium at Europa Way in Leamington, which will become the home ground for Leamington FC. The clubs first team plays in the Vanarama National League North. At this level a FIFA Pro 3G FTP is required. This type of FTP has a maximum of 20 hours community use per week and is not eligible for Football Foundation funding.
  • John Atkinson Sports Centre (Myton School): The current 3G FTP is reaching the end of it's lifespan and requires resurfacing. This does not fall under the criteria for Football Foundation funding.
  • Meadows Community Sports Centre: The school is due to close its current site at Leyes Lane and move to a new site at Glasshouse Lane. There are plans in place to mitigate the loss at Leyes Lane and include a replacement 3G FTP at the new site. As this is a like for like replacement the project would not be eligible for Football Foundation funding.

Two of the three full size pitches are available for community use. It is recommend that community use opportunities are explored at University of Warwick. The FTP at Meadows Community Sports Centre is on the FA Register for 3G FTPs (meaning it is quality checked and can be used for football match play). It is strongly recommend that the two remaining pitches are on the register to enable more match play on 3G.

The geographical spread of existing facilities is uneven; with two pitches located in the north and one in the central area of the local area. There are provision gaps in the central and south eastern areas. Furthermore, due to limited availability of community use at University of Warwick (Cryfield Pavilion) there is also a potential gap in provision in the north of the District. It is recommended that these are addressed.

Local consultation reveals common issues with low availability and it is recommended that these are addressed.

3 Current 3G FTPs
4 More 3G FTPs required
0 More small-sided 3G FTPs required

Priority projects

Five priority projects for potential investment have been identified. Undersupply was calculated using the FA 3G FTP demand and supply model. Each site was selected by local partners based on a rationale of good access, high population, geographical spread, success and quality of existing facilities. An additional
site (Bishops Tachbrook) has been included, this particular project is in very early stages of development, demand for such project will need to be reviewed by the LFFP steering group at a later date. A number of either/or alternative sites have also been selected by the steering group:


1 - St Nicholas Park Leisure Centre - new 11v11 floodlit 3G FTP (resurface of existing sand based AGP)

  • Existing facilities: one full sized sand based AGP and two full size grass pitches with good quality changing facilities.
  • Current users: sand based AGP is utilised for affiliated football training and recreational football. The AGP is also used for hockey, England Hockey have been consulted as part of this process. Grass pitches are used by four affiliated teams from the following clubs; Castle Rangers, Forresters Arms, Hampton Magna, and Warwick Boar.
  • Rationale: participation growth in; junior football, senior football, BAME participation, women & girls, informal/recreational football, over 50s participation.


2 - John Atkinson Sports Centre (Myton School) - new 11v11 floodlit 3G FTP (either/or project with Racing Club Warwick)

  • Existing facilities: one full sized 3G FTP and one full size and two junior grass pitches with good quality changing facilities.
  • Current users: 3G FTP is utilised for affiliated football training, recreational football, and use by students from Myton School. Grass pitches are currently unused for affiliated football. The immediate priority for this site is to resurface the existing FTP.
  • Rationale: participation growth in; junior football, senior football, BAME participation, women & girls, informal/recreational football, over 50s participation.


3 - Racing Club Warwick - new 11v11 floodlit 3G FTP (either/or project with John Atkinson Sports Centre)

  • Existing facilities: one full size grass pitch with standard quality changing facilities. The club also utilises one full size adult and one junior grass pitches at St Mary's Land for the majority of it's junior teams. These pitches are located c.200m from the main grass pitch at Racing Club Warwick. The club also has a small MUGA.
  • Current users: The main grass pitch is used by the first team and the pitches at St Mary's Land are used by ten teams from the junior section. The MUGA is used for recreational football and some club training.
  • Rationale: participation growth in; junior football, senior football, BAME participation, women & girls, informal/recreational football, over 50s participation.


4 - Newbold Comyn Football Pavilion- new 11v11 floodlit 3G FTP

  • Existing facilities: seven full size and nine junior grass pitches with poor quality changing facilities.
  • Current users: 40 affiliated teams from clubs including; Heathcote Athletic, Khalsa Junior, Khalsa Leamington Spa, Leamington Brakes, Leamington Grist Mill, Leamington Hibernian Ladies, Leamington Hibernian Minor, Leamington Juniors, Murphys Bar, Warwick Printing, Westlea Wanderers, Whitnash United.
  • Rationale: participation growth in; junior football, senior football, BAME participation, women & girls, informal/recreational football, over 50s participation.

5 - Castle Farm Recreation Centre - new 11v11 floodlit 3G FTP

  • Existing facilities: two full size and five junior grass pitches with inadequate changing facilities.
  • Current users: 16 affiliated teams from clubs including; Kenilworth Wardens FC, Kenilworth Town Juniors and Leek Wootton. There is potential for the management of this site to be taken on by Kenilworth Wardens Cricket and Football via a long term lease agreement.
  • Rationale: participation growth in; junior football, senior football, BAME participation, women & girls, informal/recreational football, over 50s participation.

6 - Proposed School Site at Bishops Tachbrook (site TBC) - new 11v11 floodlit 3G FTP

  • Existing facilities: N/A. A 3G FTP is included in plans for the new school at Bishops Tachbrook. This potential project is at a very early stage and feasibility and demand for this project will need to be reviewed by the LFFP steering group.
  • Current users: none.
  • Rationale: participation growth in; junior football, senior football, BAME participation, cross curricular use, women & girls, informal/recreational football, over 50s participation.

There is also a potential opportunity at Alvis Sports & Social Club which has been listed in the Coventry LFFP. This site straddles the boundary between Coventry and Warwick and from a planning perspective is considered to be located within Warwick District. The site has been included in the Coventry plan due to the level of demand catered for from Coventry residents. This site has been included in the Coventry PPS.

Improved Grass Pitches

05

Playing fields are one of the most important resources for sport in England. All football players should have the opportunity to play on good quality grass pitches. However, FA data shows that 63% of pitches in England are poor / low standard and 1 in 6 games are cancelled. As such, poor pitch quality is consistently cited as the number one issue for players.

The priority is, therefore, to sustainably improve grass pitch quality across all main pitch owners (local authorities, education establishments and clubs). However, the level of maintenance required to obtain good quality standards is regularly affected by restricted budgets and limited knowledge/ training. Compaction and grass coverage are two key causes of poor quality pitches. Both are commonly treated via a maintenance driven solution (and do not necessarily require costly drainage schemes).

Playing fields are also a valuable resources for informal play and open-access sites are encouraged but, for many, problems such as dog fouling and vandalism mean that they need to be protected with mitigation measures such as fencing.

In many local areas the key challenge is to create a sustainable approach to provide good quality football pitches for the long-term. Many local authorities (78%) intend to increase pitch hire fees in the future. However, many players (63%) believe facilities are already expensive and some (16%) believe prices are prohibitive. A sustainable solution should, therefore, carefully balance pitch quality and affordability.

While the education sector (37%) and local authorities (32%) are still the principal asset owners of grass pitches, clubs / leagues own or maintain an increasing share (currently 25%). Assets and opportunities have been considered across each sector.

Although large (3+ pitch) strategic sites are important and make up much of the project list within the LFFPs, this does not mean that other club, league and community/voluntary sites are not important or eligible for funding. These sites are key to the Football Foundation's Grass Pitch Programme to deliver 20,000 good quality pitches.

Assets and opportunities

PitchFinder data indicates that there are currently 14 grass pitch sites in Warwick District with three or more full-size pitch equivalents containing 67 grass pitches.

Warwick District Council is currently producing an updated PPS. This document will provide a full evidence base and provide pitch quality ratings.

Local consultation shows common issues with pitch quality and it is recommended that these are addressed.

14 Key grass pitch sites
12 Sites prioritised for improvement.
47 Full-sized pitch equivalents at these sites

Priority projects

12 priority projects for potential investment have been identified*. Seven of the sites have three or more full-size pitch equivalents. The steering group decided to include two sites which have two full-size pitch equivalents and also three sites which are planned to be developed in the future. Due to significant number of grass pitch sites in Warwick District local partners did not select all sites and prioritised only 12, containing 44 full-size pitch equivalents. The prioritisation was informed by local partners with the rationale of selecting sites that were most well utilised and of the highest strategic importance:

*Includes a number of two pitch sites and sites earmarked for future development. All sites have been identified as being strategically important for affiliated football in Warwick.

Changing room pavilions / clubhouses

06

These can provide a number of different benefits. While the primary function is normally the provision of changing rooms to accommodate match-play and training (for players and officials), there can be equal value in facilities such as community and education rooms, catering facilities and spectator toilets.

Each project will take a progressive approach to pavilions and clubhouses (beyond the provision of changing rooms) and be open to new opportunities to engage the whole community. That means, creating environments that are welcoming to players, spectators, volunteers, officials and all sections of the community.

Such assets should support other investment priorities (e.g. 3G FTPs and grass pitches) and be located at sites that will have the greatest impact on local communities. To ensure this, focus is given to sites with three or more full-size pitch equivalents. However, as pitch quality is the number one priority for players this is prioritised before investment in changing room pavilions /clubhouses.

Clearly, facilities need to be well managed and maintained to keep them in a good state of repair. Consideration will be given to reviewing the best operator solution for key sites and the installation of revenue generating features such as catering facilities and community rooms. To achieve this, business plan support will be given to each priority project as it progresses to an application to the Football Foundation.

Assets and opportunities

Of the 14 key sites with three or more full-size pitch equivalents in Warwick District, 11 have suitable changing room pavilions/clubhouses and three have facilities that need improvement/ replacement. The steering group also took the decision to include three sides that are identified as strategically important sites but have less than three full-size pitch equivalents.

11 key sites have suitable changing rooms/pavillion/clubhouses
6 require improvement/replacement.
0 have no facilities and require new builds

Priority projects

Six priority projects for potential investment have therefore been identified. Each has either no facilities or was deemed to have an unsuitable pavilion:


3 - Racing Club Warwick - refurbish changing pavilion

  • Existing facilities: one full size grass pitch with standard quality changing facilities. The club also utilises one full size and two junior grass pitches at St Mary's Land for the majority of it's junior teams. These pitches are located c200m from the main grass pitch at Racing Club Warwick. The club also has a small MUGA. A refurbished changing pavillion would have potential to serve both the main site and St Mary's Land.
  • Current users: The main grass pitch is used by the first team and the pitches at St Mary's Land are used by ten teams from the junior section. The MUGA is used for recreational football and some club training.
  • Rationale: participation growth in; junior football, senior football, BAME participation, women & girls, informal/recreational football, over 50s participation.


4 - Newbold Comyn Football Pavilion - refurbish changing pavilion

  • Existing facilities: seven full size and nine junior grass pitches with poor quality changing facilities. A refurbished changing pavilion would have the potential to serve both the grass pitches and any potential 3G FTP development.
  • Current users: 40 affiliated teams from clubs including; Heathcote Athletic, Khalsa Junior, Khalsa Leamington Spa, Leamington Brakes, Leamington Grist Mill, Leamington Hibernian Ladies, Leamington Hibernian Minor, Leamington Juniors, Murphys Bar, Warwick Printing, Westlea Wanderers, Whitnash United.
  • Rationale: participation growth in; junior football, senior football, BAME participation, women & girls, informal/recreational football, over 50s participation.

5 - Castle Farm Recreation Centre - refurbish changing pavilion

  • Existing facilities: two full size and five junior grass pitches with inadequate changing facilities. Re-provision of changing facilities is required as part of proposed works to modernise the site. Improvements would have potential to serve both the grass pitches and any potential 3G FTP development.
  • Current users: 16 affiliated teams from clubs including; Kenilworth Wardens FC, Kenilworth Town Juniors and Leek Wootton. There is potential for the management of this site to be taken on by Kenilworth Wardens Cricket and Football via a long lease agreement.
  • Rationale: participation growth in; junior football, senior football, BAME participation, women & girls, informal/recreational football, over 50s participation.

11 - Acre Close Fields - refurbish changing pavilion

  • Existing facilities: one full size grass pitches and one mini with poor quality changing facilities. There is also a dilapidated MUGA on site.
  • Current users: six affiliated teams from Whitnash Town (juniors & seniors)
  • Rationale: participation growth in; senior football, junior football, women & girls.


12 - Ajax Park - refurbish changing pavilion

  • Existing facilities: four full size and four junior grass pitches with poor quality changing facilities.
  • Current users: 15 affiliated teams from Central Ajax FC.
  • Rationale: participation growth in; junior football, women & girls.

15 - Leek Wooton Sports Club - refurbish changing pavilion

  • Existing facilities: one full size, one junior and two mini grass pitches with poor quality changing facilities.
  • Current users: 11 affiliated teams from Leek Wootton FC.
  • Rationale: participation growth in; senior football junior football, women & girls.

Small-sided facilities

07

Good facilities are important to all small-sided football players, but it is important to understand the different formats of the small-sided game and the various facility types they relate to.

Research suggests that small-sided players in teams & leagues, and in recreational sessions, prefer a 3G surface type because it replicates a good standard natural turf pitch. These facilities have already been covered in the 3G FTP section of this LFFP.

Indoor environments currently accommodate 20% of football participation and are also popular with players in teams & leagues and recreational sessions . Indoor sports halls are most popular, along with some community halls and indoor 3G centres. Environments need to be engaging, have clear line-marking and the correct size goalposts.

Informal players require facilities that are open and free to access as this enables play opportunities that are often spontaneous. In these circumstances multi-use games areas (MUGAs) can be effective in areas of high urban population and limited green space. Such facilities can be modern, bright, creative and engaging. While this plan will identify suitable locations for such facilities, the design and specifics of the facility type can be agreed at a later stage with Football Foundation staff when projects are ready to progress to pre-application stage.

Parks and open green spaces are also important to informal play and require goalposts and zones that are free from litter and dog fouling.

Priority projects

1 Better Indoor spaces
6 MUGAs
3 Better parks / open green spaces

Indoor

Local consultation reveals there is one indoor facility that requires improvement to develop small-sided football:


16 - The Gap Community Centre - refurbish indoor football facility

  • Existing facilities: small hall which is used for recreational football. The centre has a desire to potentially utilise the hall for Futsal.
  • Current users: used for recreational football.
  • Rationale: participation growth in; informal/recreational football

Indoor facilities - priority projects

Pitchfinder

Multi-use games areas (MUGAs)

Six potential opportunities for MUGAs have been identified. In each case the rationale is based on the site being in an area of high urban population , limited green space and corresponding high local demand for informal football:


4 - Newbold Comyn Football Pavilion - new MUGA

  • Existing facilities: eight full size and three junior grass pitches with poor quality changing facilities.
  • Current users: 40 affiliated teams from clubs including; Heathcote Athletic, Khalsa Junior, Khalsa Leamington Spa, Leamington Brakes, Leamington Grist Mill, Leamington Hibernian Ladies, Leamington Hibernian Minor, Leamington Juniors, Murphys Bar, Warwick Printing, Westlea Wanderers, Whitnash United. Site is also used for recreational/informal football.
  • Rationale: participation growth in; informal/recreational football, lower-socio economic groups.

5 - Castle Farm Recreation Centre - new MUGA

  • Existing facilities: one full size and five junior grass pitches with inadequate changing facilities.
  • Current users: 16 affiliated teams from clubs including; Kenilworth Wardens FC, Kenilworth Town Juniors and Leek Wootton. There is potential for the management of this site to be taken on by Kenilworth Wardens Cricket and Football via a long lease agreement. Site also used for recreational/informal football.
  • Rationale: participation growth in; informal/recreational football, lower-socio economic groups.

11 - Acre Close Fields - upgrade MUGA

  • Existing facilities: three full size grass pitches with poor quality changing facilities. There is also a dilapidated MUGA on site.
  • Current users: six affiliated teams from Whitnash Town (juniors & seniors). The MUGA is utilised for recreational/informal football.
  • Rationale: participation growth in; informal/recreational football, lower-socio economic groups.

17 - Eagle Recreation Ground - upgrade MUGA

  • Existing facilities: MUGA in dilapidated condition.
  • Current users: site is used for recreational/informal football.
  • Rationale: participation growth in; informal/recreational football, lower-socio economic groups.

18 - Mason Avenue Recreation Park - upgrade MUGA

  • Existing facilities: MUGA in dilapidated condition.
  • Current users: site is used for recreational/informal football.
  • Rationale: participation growth in; informal/recreational football, lower-socio economic groups.

19 - Western-under-Wetherley Village Hall - upgrade MUGA

  • Existing facilities: MUGA in dilapidated condition.
  • Current users: site is used for recreational/informal football.
  • Rationale: participation growth in; informal/recreational football, lower-socio economic groups.

Parks and open green spaces

Following local consultation, three locations have been identified to support small-sided informal football. Here, the rationale is based on highly popular local parks and open green spaces with suitable space / areas to increase informal football:

20 - The SYDNI Centre - informal football provision (grassed area next to building)

  • Existing facilities: none.
  • Current users: site is used for recreational/informal football.
  • Rationale: participation growth in; informal/recreational football, lower-socio economic groups.

21 - The Country Park, Bishops Tachbrook - informal football provision (new site)

  • Existing facilities: N/A new site.
  • Current users: N/A new site.
  • Rationale: participation growth in; informal/recreational football.

22 - Priory Pools Park Play Area - informal football provision (new site)

  • Existing facilities: none.
  • Current users: site used for recreational/informal football.
  • Rationale: participation growth in; informal/recreational football, lower-socio economic groups.

Appendix A: Priority Project List

08

This list compiles all of the priority projects for potential investment. Each project has been scored against two principle factors: deliverability and outcomes (quality, inclusivity, sustainability, engagement and usage).

The list will be used flexibly; a projects ‘rating’ does not determine the exact order that it will progress to a funding application to the Football Foundation as we understand there are many factors that influence this. The process for moving a project from this list and into the ‘pre-application stage’ will be managed by the Football Foundation.
