Playing pitch and outdoor sports strategy

Read about our plans to maintain and improve existing playing pitches and accompanying facilities.

Our playing pitch and outdoor sports strategies provide a framework for the maintenance and improvement of existing playing pitches and associated facilities.

They have been developed in conjunction with Sport England, the pitch sport national governing bodies, sports clubs, league associations, schools and colleges, and informed by a review of pitches and facilities.

The studies were undertaken during the Covid-19 pandemic but the reports present information based on what supply and demand would have been like had there not been any restrictions in place.

Consideration is also given to the impact of Covid-19 and the issues clubs, teams and users face as a consequence.
