Facility

“We’ve always had difficulty in finding a suitable winter training venue so we were delighted and surprised to be able to secure a slot at the new prestigious Cardiff City House of Sport.

With an average of 24 U15 boys attending each weekly session, all players and coaches have found the indoor facilities even better than we expected with an excellent 3G playing surface, adaptable pitch layout, comfortable airy atmosphere, good location and parking, and very helpful staff.”

“We’ve been regularly using House of Sport for about two years and I have to say they’re the best publicly available facilities in South Wales. Joanna (Executive Director) and her team are brilliant, friendly, helpful and always available. The indoor 3G pitch is fantastic and the facilities at the House of Sport contribute to the fact that we regularly get 18 people turning up week in, week out.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”
