What is a Multi Use Games Area?What is a Multi Use Games Area?

Multi-Use Games Area  is a fenced in area where children can play a variety of team sports such as football, hockey, basketball, tennis and netball. MUGAs are a good solution for schools with limited space as they allow different games to be played in the same area rather than having separate areas for each sport.

As well as the physical benefits that MUGAs bring, they also help to develop social skills, such as cooperation and respect. Being a member of a team allows teenagers to meet friends and exercise whilst also gaining a sense of achievement when their team wins. This social structure is very important to the wellbeing of young people and helps them to build a positive future.

MUGAs: The Ultimate Recreational Solution for All Ages

MUGAs are a popular choice for a lot of UK schools and community centres as they offer a range of benefits in one facility. The MUGA is often seen as something of a compromise, but it is actually about consolidation of resources without compromising quality.

MUGAs are usually constructed with an artificial turf, macadam or tarmac surface and they are designed to support the playing of multiple sports at the same time. The surfacing is built to support free drainage and slip resistance. They are perfect for schools, holiday parks and housing associations. MUGAs are also great for children to play after school as they can continue with their favourite sports in the same place. This means that parents don’t have to worry about driving their kids to various clubs and activities as they can all meet at the MUGA.
