Footwear guidance
We ask all members and visitors to please adhere to the footwear guidance provided for each facility.
For indoor facilities: please wear clean shoes with non-marking soles. No outdoor footwear is permitted within the swimming pool changing rooms or pool side.
For 3G pitches: please wear clean moulded or studded boots. Blades, metal studded boots and spikes are not permitted. The wearing of flat soled or dimpled shoes is strongly discouraged for both individual safety and injury prevention and to protect the pitch playing surface.
For the sand-dressed and water based artificial pitches: please wear clean flat soled shoes only (i.e. astro turf trainers). Blades, metal studded boots and spikes or moulded boots are not permitted.
Thank you for your support to help us maintain our facilities to a very high standard.
