Tooting and Mitcham Community Sports Club scores MyLocalPitch’s December ‘Outstanding Sports Facility Award’
Tooting and Mitcham Community Sports Club has scored MyLocalPitch's December Outstanding Sports Facility Award.
Tooting and Mitcham operates as a 'not for profit' company with
charitable aspirations while also promoting sport, health,
education and social enterprise in the local community.
Furthermore, Tooting & Mitcham FC has recently joined the
grassroots football revolution after becoming one of the first
facilities to sign-up to a ground-breaking project between the
Football Foundation and MyLocalPitch. Facilities involved gain
access to MyLocalPitch's innovative booking portal to make it
simpler to find and book physical activity sessions.
This outstanding multi-purpose venue is located along the river
Wandle, situated between Sutton and Merton, and additionally offers
match day hospitality, hockey and rugby compliant 3G pitches, soft
play, a gym with qualified personal training, a range of catering
options, disability access and ample parking.
The community club has an ongoing mission of helping locals reach
their potential and realise dreams in a safe and secure environment
regardless of ability.
This final grassroots award for 2018, which is determined by
MyLocalPitch users, is based on pitch quality, venue amenities and
customer experience.
MyLocalPitch is a platform for sports players who want to find and
book sports venues in London. Users have the choice of over 9,000
of the best venues around the UK for 17 featured sports. The
service has most recently launched in Brighton.
Jackie Watkins, Tooting and Mitcham Community Sports Club Manager
said: "As a community club who specialises in Health,
Education, Sport and Enterprise using MyLocalPitch has helped us
reach out to new people and take the strain out of pitch booking.
We continue to assist MyLocalPitch with the development of their
site which benefits us both and other users. We would like to thank
MyLocalPitch for giving us this opportunity."
Cllr Stephen Alambritis, Merton Council Leader, added: "I am so
pleased that Tooting and Mitcham FC is in my ward in Merton with
great facilities available to residents who themselves recognise
the need for increased physical activity and use those facilities
frequently. I want to applaud the club on its grassroots football
approach and congratulate everyone there on being recognised by
MyLocalPitch for the club's outstanding sports facilities."
Jamie Foale, Co-Founder of MyLocalPitch, commented: "Tooting and
Mitcham Community Sports Club stands proud in the local area to
provide the perfect place for people to lead an active and healthy
lifestyle. Sport acts as a fantastic platform for delivering life
lessons in the community and congratulations to Jackie, Josie and
the rest of the team."
