Third Generation Football Pitch Clifton College Sports Ground boasts one of the biggest and best 3G football pitches in the South of England.

The pitch is fully approved by both FIFA and the IRB, making it the ideal artificial surface for football and full-contact rugby. The surface is rubber crumb-based and the experience is as close as you can get to playing on the real thing – without the mud! The pitch is available to hire for a full-sized match, or can be split in half for smaller matches or training.

If you want to play on the best surface possible – whatever the weather – make a booking for this pitch and enjoy a great sporting experience.

Weekly 8-a-side football leagues run throughout the year on the 3G pitch and are extremely popular.
