Inflatable pitch
The Foundation has a new inflatable football pitch which is available for hire at a reduced rate. It can be put up on any grass surface and can be erected within an hour allowing football to be taken into every community.
The pitch is 30m x 20m and comes with its own fan, all clients need to have an electrical supply at their event or provide their own diesel generators. The fans required to inflate the pitch are 1500w (1.5kw) each and four are needed to inflate the whole pitch, which means a total of 6000w (6kva) is needed. However, if you are also having the speed tunnel as well, you will need another 1500w or 1.5kva equaling a total of 7500w (7.5kva).
Bearing in mind that generators do not like to be run at full capacity for very long, we would recommend something nearer 10000w or 10kva, or a 6kva and a 4kva be used.
Should you wish to make an enquiry about using the pitch, please fill in our inflatable pitch/speed tunnel request form. Once the form is received, the Foundation will contact you within five working days with a quote for using the pitch and, providing you are happy to proceed, your booking will be confirmed.
Please note the size of the pitch if you are holding your event indoors.
Inflatable speed tunnel
The Foundation also has an inflatable speed tunnel which measures the speed at which you kick the ball into the tunnel. Like the inflatable pitch it can be hired at a reduced rate and can be erected in approximately 30 minutes.
The speed tunnel is 4m x 4m and is 3.5m high. You will need to allow a further 4m on the length for a run-up area and the radar system at the back. Should you wish to make an enquiry about using the speed tunnel, please fill in our inflatable pitch/speed tunnel request form.
