Scottish Hockey Facility Strategy
Hockey is a sport that is reliant on facilities. Pitches and social facilities are expensive and their development is at a premium, therefore there is a need to prioritise their development and use to maximise the benefit to hockey.
This section contains the Scottish Hockey Facility Strategy.
The Scottish Hockey Facility Strategy was completed in 2007. Since then there have been a number of changes that have occurred in the provision of facilities across the country. The Strategy has been updated via 2009 Review - Appendix A which reflect the changes and changed priorities.
The Strategy is divided into seven parts:
1) The Executive Summary provides an overview of the strategy and provides an outline of the main points within the strategy.
2) The Scottish Hockey Facility Strategy provides the background to the strategy, an analysis of the current situation, recommendations for both indoor and outdoor facilities and an implementation plan.
3) The Local Facility Guide provides guidance for the development of local facilities, usually at a school, club or sports centre.
4) 2009 Review - Appendix A provides an update to the strategy.
5) Pitch Dimensions - Appendix B displays information on pitch size required for indoor and outdoor hockey.
6) Long Pile Turf - Appendix C provides information on Long Pile Turf and Third Generation (3G) pitches.
7) Bellahouston's Current Demand - Appendix D details the usage of Bellahouston's facilities.
