HOCKEY PITCH CONSTRUCTION FOR ACADEMIES
Academies operate across a wide range of sites, from large multi‑academy trusts to individual schools with growing student populations. Their sports programmes often include football, rugby, hockey and netball, supported by regular training sessions and competitive fixtures that place steady pressure on their facilities.
Many academies run extended school days, enrichment programmes and community partnerships, which increase the demand on pitches throughout the week. With pupils of different ages using the same spaces, reliable surfaces are essential for maintaining safety, performance and year round availability.
The combination of busy timetables, mixed ability groups and frequent fixtures means that artificial pitches play a central role in academy sport. Well planned surfaces help schools manage high usage, reduce weather‑related disruption and provide consistent playing conditions for students across all year groups.

HOCKEY PITCH CONSTRUCTION
Hockey 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 is primarily focused within the counties surrounding our Buckinghamshire headquarters, supported by a national footprint that allows us to deliver consistently wherever Academies are based.
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.
