Case Study:
Molescroft Parish Council
- Installation Date: July 2023
- Project Type: Petanque Terrains
Project Brief
Molescroft Parish Council were looking for a way to engage their community in an outdoor activity which brought everyone together. The emphasis of the project was engagement’ & accessibility for everyone, especially those with mobility issues.
A local resident, Thierry Coudette, had been playing boules competitively for many years and knew from discussions that their would be an appetite to start a club in the town. The Parish Council embraced the idea and Team Sport & Play were engaged to create the Design and Sepcifications for the area.
Project Outcome
Team Sport & Play supplied and installed a Terrain 9m x 15m with sleeper surrounds and a rubber/stone mix pathway with benches, fencing and gates.
The installation lasted 2 weeks and was delivered on-time and on-budget. The project was a resounding success and has consistent numbers attending over numerous sessions.
In the coming months, popularity of the sport in the local area had grown so much, Team Sport & Play were asked to return to build an extension to the Petanque Terrains to enable more teams to participate.
“Thank you to Team Sport & Play for their professional approach and a great Petanque project outcome!”
Case Study:
Ingbirchworth Petanque Club
- Installation Date: August 2023
- Project Type: Petanque Terrains
Project Brief
Ingbirchworth Petanque Club, based in Ingbirchworth, Penistone, had established themselves as a local group after meeting at different locations whilst playing Petanque. The group were keen to build their own Petanque Terrains to allow them to play more frequently as a group.
David Hazeldine, a member of Ingbirchworth Petanque Club, initially contacted The Yorkshire Petanque Association who advised him to speak to Team Sport & Play Ltd who had built a portfolio of terrains in the Yorkshire area.
Project Outcome
The site identified was situated on a corner plot of an open playing field at the edge of the village. Access to the area was via a narrow stone track with an incline leading to the playing field. The timing of the project was, therefore, crucial to minimise damage and disruption to the path and field.
The Club decided on a terrains measuring 7m x 24m allowing for four pistes at a time. The completed project has been a huge success with the club having visits from, Yorkshire Petanque, Doncaster Petanque and Belgium Petanque all of which have commented on the terrains being one of, if not the best, they have played on!
