The facilities at Weetwood are brilliant and the staff are very accommodating to our needs. I was able to complete some of my key sessions in the build-up to the Rio Olympic Games on the grass at Sports Park Weetwood – which was the perfect surface for some fast running.

We have used Sports Park Weetwood over a number of years because of the quality of the facilities and how helpful and supportive the staff are. The main pitch is as good as any premiership rugby main pitch and it supports the way that England want to develop its best young talent.
