Multi-Use Games Areas (MUGAs)
Small sized areas used primarily for playing and practicing a variety of sports. They will normally be enclosed with a ball stop fence.

Playing surfaces might be Macadam, Porous Concrete, Polymeric or Artificial Grass. MUGAs can provide a cost effective resource for schools and have a wide range of sporting uses.

However, it is this range of use which requires facilities to be multi-purpose and this in turn leads to a need for compromise, particularly in terms of dimensions and the playing characteristics of the surface.

Netball Courts
Netball is the number one participation sport after football. Due to the nature of play, the surface of Netball Courts is subject to greater wear and normally require a higher Slip Resistance than required for Tennis Courts.

For Netball Courts we recommend the application of Water Based Polyurethane with additional aluminium oxide aggregate incorporated in the coating to produce the correct level of slip resistance combined with a tough paint surface.

Types of MUGA

6mm Open Textured Porous Macadam
Type 1 - Used for ball rebound sports where tennis is the priority and sports such as mini-tennis, netball and basketball are secondary users.

Type 2 - Used for ball rebound sports where netball is the priority and sports such as tennis, mini-tennis and basketball are secondary users.

Polymeric Surfaced Areas
Type 3 - Used for ball rebound sports where netball is the priority and sports such as tennis, mini-tennis and basketball are secondary users.

Type 4 - Used for five-a-side football, basketball and general sports and recreational training and play. Due to their greater shock absorbency and lower surface friction these areas are not recommended for tennis.

Artificial Grass
Type 5 - Used for sports such as modified hockey and five-a-side football.
