Training & block bookings

Built around
grassroots football.

The main 3G can be booked as a quarter, half or full pitch. During busy training periods we can run four quarter-pitch bookings or two half-pitch bookings at the same time.

October–March

Winter block season

Demand is very high, particularly on weekday evenings. Regular grassroots training slots are offered as six-month block bookings covering the full October–March period.

April–September

More flexible summer use

There is generally more 3G availability during the summer period, making it easier to accommodate one-off sessions, shorter blocks and additional training.

Better for spectators

Watch the game.
Stay close to the action.

The 3G pitch includes an enclosed spectator area, giving parents, supporters and visitors a defined place to watch training and matches from pitchside.

The new Brew Box sits alongside this area and is designed to serve spectators directly through its serving hatch, with coffee, hot and cold drinks, snacks and refreshments available around activity at the Hub.

3G FAQs

Good to know
before you book.

Quick answers to the questions clubs and teams ask us most often.

Can the main 3G pitch be split for training?

Yes. The main 3G can be hired as a quarter pitch, half pitch or full pitch. In busy training periods we commonly operate as four quarter pitches or two half pitches.

How do winter block bookings work?

October to March is our busiest training period. Regular grassroots training slots are normally offered as six-month block bookings covering the full winter period, helping clubs secure a consistent weekly slot.

Can I book a one-off 3G session in winter?

Sometimes, but availability can be limited because the winter evening programme is heavily used by block-booked grassroots teams. The Football Booking Finder can help you check the best route.

Do you allow training on the grass pitches?

No. Grass pitches are reserved for matches. Training takes place on the 3G Pitch or 3G Cage.

Is there a spectator area?

Yes. The main 3G has an enclosed spectator area, with The Brew Box serving hatch positioned to serve spectators directly with drinks and snacks.

Is the pitch floodlit?

Yes. The 3G is floodlit and available into the evening, with the Hub open until 10pm on weekdays.
