Rutland is England’s smallest county, set between Leicestershire, Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire, with a landscape of rural villages, market towns and open countryside. Oakham and Uppingham are the main centres, each with strong community and educational links.
The county is known for its independent schools, including Oakham School and Uppingham School, both of which have long sporting traditions and extensive facilities. These institutions play a major role in local sport and create a consistent need for well maintained training and match surfaces.
Rutland has an active sporting scene despite its size, with strong participation in football, rugby, hockey and netball through local clubs and community programmes. Heavy year round usage places pressure on artificial pitches, making durable, well designed surfaces essential for organisations looking to maintain reliable performance.

Our work at Oundle School Peterborough (over the border in Cambridgeshire)
Gen 2 Pitch Construction at Merchant Taylors School Northwood
Adsum Sport and Play brings more than 25 years of experience to the design and construction of 2G pitches, delivering surfaces that provide reliable performance and long term durability for hockey, football training and a range of school and community sports. Our work spans professional clubs, universities, schools and community facilities across Rutland, built around a commitment to quality and long term reliability.
A modern 2G pitch is designed to offer a fast, true playing surface with excellent ball glide, making it the preferred choice for hockey while also supporting football training and general multi‑sport use. Construction typically involves precise ground preparation, a stable engineered base, and a sand‑dressed or sand‑filled synthetic turf system that delivers predictable ball movement and secure footing. When built correctly, a 2G surface provides year round consistency, reduced weather disruption and a dependable platform for both competitive and recreational play.
We deliver each project through a Prime Contractor model, overseeing planning, governance and quality assurance while working with trusted local subcontractors for specialist installation. This approach ensures every stage of the build is tightly managed, technically sound and aligned with the client’s performance requirements, resulting in a 2G pitch that is built to last and ready for sustained, high intensity use.
