The cities are becoming narrow in India – and even Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, come up with a question that which games are the best sports for small ground play?

The solution here does not lie in selecting a single sport; rather, the design of a multi-purpose/Use facility that provides optimum ROI, participation, and community benefit.

Why Small Grounds Have Such a Huge Effect?

• Even a small area can be converted into an excellent sports arena that:
• Makes it friendly to all ages.
• Keeps the prices of construction and maintenance low.
• Provides an extended use during the day.
• Save time recovering the investment as a result of hourly rentals and coaching programs.

Utilizing a well-planned layout, type of turf, lighting, fencing, and drainage, your small space can transform into a hub of sporting and social activities.

Cricket:

The Indian favourite cricketing game modified to fit small cricket fields

Cricket is the pulse of India – and full-size pitches require a tremendous amount of space. Even the tiny cricket parks can be played by selecting innovative formats:

Box Cricket

• The game takes place on a smaller synthetic pitch (about 2025 metres)
• With high nets around holding the ball on the pitch.
• Six or eight aside games that are high intensity and fast pace.
• Ideal in schools, clubs, and housing society.

Tape Ball Cricket

Takes up even less space.

Increases minimal turf wear, keeps costs down.

Benefits:

• Appeals to both old and young players.
• They can be shared with futsal or volleyball using portable nets.
• It generates a passive income.

Warning: It is better to buy high-quality turf and a livelier base to have a stable bounce and fewer injuries.

Futsal:

• The Most Multilingual Sport in Little Spaces.
• A smaller ground is perfectly suited to futsal courts (approx. 25-42m x 16-25m).
• It is a rapid 5 side game, popular in every age group.

The reasons why futsal is outstanding:

• Futsal can be constructed in or outside the home can give you an idea.
• Games on artificial grass (durable, easy to take care of).
• A single ground may have volleyball, kabaddi, or basketball markings.
• Provides incentives to play a series of short games throughout the day, increasing usage.

The Fit India Movement encourages a sporting culture in schools.

Badminton Minimum Impact, Maximum Properties

• Badminton is not a joke! Even the smallest plot can fit onto a single court because it is only 13.4m x 6.1m.
• 1 or more outdoor courts (synthetic flooring).
• Enclosed courts with funnel roofs all year round.
• In particular, popular among women, children, and older adults.
• Ideal to use as a coaching tool, family game, or an impromptu rental item.
• Gives massive value addition in residential and school ventures.

Multi-Sport Design: The Smartest ROI Builders and Schools

It is best to combine several rather than to remain at one.

Features of smart multi-sport ground:

• Synthetic grass of multi-sport lines (futsal, cricket crease, volleyball lines).
• Adjustable nets and detachable poles to switch the sport in short time.
• Lighting to be used in various sports.
• A high fence where a necessity appears to exist (cricket), low fencing on other grounds

Investment & revenue:

• High prices, Turf, sub-base, fences.
• Add-ons: The lights, movable nets, and other markings.
• A small ground can be used from 6 AM to 10 PM with good design, with various sports available throughout the day.

So what is the best sport on your small ground?

• Box cricket when you have a strong demand for cricket and you can afford nets & fencing.
• Badminton could be used as well when space is minimal or for indoor play.
• Or use a multi-sport design to get the best ROI and retention.

There is only a small area of ground that might become a home of pride in a school, or a rendezvous of a society, or the leading amenity of a builder with the proper plan and vision.
