All of our pitches are available to hire as part of a team, or for just you and your mates having a friendly kick-about.
WHAT IS 3G?
All pitches at York Sport Village have a 3G surface, this means they are all synthetic pitches which feel, look and play like grass in virtually all weather conditions. The main difference between these and other AstroTurf pitches is a layer of rubber under the grass to help absorb shock.
