Boarding pitch
A boarding pitch is a compact sports field where children, youngsters, and adults can play football and other sports in an accessible way. Thanks to the enclosed fencing, the game remains continuously in motion, without balls ending up outside the playing field. SKOR delivers custom-made boarding pitches of high quality, suitable for every situation.
What is a boarding pitch?
A boarding pitch is a field that is surrounded by a low wall structure, also known as 'boarding'. This structure ensures that the ball stays within the playing area. Boarding pitches are available in various designs, often with an artificial turf or concrete surface, fixed steel football goals, and possibly ball stop nets. It is a popular solution for municipalities, sports clubs, schools, and recreational locations looking for an additional sports facility.
SKOR Boarding pitches
SKOR's boarding structure is made of galvanized steel frames that guarantee a long lifespan, even with intensive use. Rubber strips are attached to the inside of these frames, with durable white sandwich panels mounted on them. This clever construction ensures a stable, low-noise, and vandal-resistant structure.
Thanks to the dampening effect of the rubber, sound transmission is significantly reduced. This is an important advantage in locations close to homes or schools. In this way, SKOR not only offers a safe sports environment for users but also comfort for local residents.
Advantages of a boarding pitch
A boarding pitch offers much more than just a defined playing area. It is a well-thought-out solution that contributes to an active living environment, sports enjoyment, and responsible space utilization. The advantages are clear and immediately noticeable:
- More playing time, fewer interruptions: the boarding keeps the ball within the playing field. This increases playing pleasure and the intensity of sports, especially in ball games such as panna or street football.
- Safety for players and bystanders: the enclosure prevents balls from uncontrolledly landing outside the field. This prevents unsafe situations with passers-by, parked cars, or surrounding windows.
- Low maintenance: the materials used, such as galvanized steel, are resistant to intensive use, weather influences, and vandalism. As a result, a boarding pitch is virtually maintenance-free and remains in top condition for years.
- Suitable for any location: boarding pitches are flexible in size and shape and therefore fit perfectly into various environments. Thanks to their sound-reducing effect, they are also suitable for urban areas.
Custom boarding pitch
A boarding pitch is the contemporary successor to the classic rough playing field. Where jackets used to serve as goalposts, that is now a thing of the past. SKOR offers a high-quality and durable solution for organized outdoor sports use.
Thanks to the modular design, the boarding pitch can be fully adapted to the available space, environment, and target group. Dimensions are variable, and the appearance is also customizable. For example, a compact panna court with boarding can be realized for street football and small-sided games. The panels are available in various RAL colors and can be provided with logos or stickers for sponsorship.
The most common surface for boarding pitches is artificial turf, but other sports floors are also possible. This creates a multifunctional pitch that meets the client's wishes and the location's requirements.
Applications of boarding pitches
Boarding pitches are a very suitable solution for locations that need additional sports facilities, such as:
- Municipal sports and play areas: for community sports coaches, youth work, or freely accessible sports locations
- Schoolyards: safe zones for active breaks or outdoor gym classes
- Sports clubs: as an extra training area or panna court for youth teams
- Recreation and holiday parks: a sports multi-court that stimulates active use of outdoor space
- Multifunctional sports locations: a multi-sport pitch with boarding offers space for multiple sports within one delimited sports facility
