MUGAs are great for schools as they help to make the most of the space and money available for sport. They enable sports to be played all year round, without being impacted by the weather. It also means that you can use the facilities for PE and after school clubs and not just during the school day.

There are different types of muga surfaces that can be installed. These are generally made from artificial surfacing that’s permeable and can be laid in a number of different colors to meet your design requirements and match your existing facility. They can have a number of markings applied to them for different sports and can be customized with a range of features including floodlighting, fencing, spectator seating, and changing rooms.

Muga Surfaces: The Ultimate Guide for Sports Enthusiasts

Some of the most popular MUGA surface options include polymeric surfacing, sand dressed, 3G and 4G, and needle punch. Polymeric MUGA surfaces are ideal for court-based games like tennis, basketball and netball as they offer good ball bounce and are safe to play on. They can be made in a variety of colours and are often chosen with the intention of providing a bespoke finish that reflects the brand and look of your sports club or school.

The most important thing to remember when having a MUGA surface is that it will need some level of maintenance to keep it in top condition. Regular proactive maintenance will prevent the MUGA from becoming blocked with debris and water which could cause it to flood or become unplayable.
