At Homefield, we encourage the participation in many different competitive and non-competitive sporting activities. We try to enter as many competitions and leagues to give children the chance to take part in competitive game-play. For those who prefer the enjoyment of sport, we participate in numerous festivals and taster sessions too. 

For our sporting teams, we encourage a desire to compete in a fair and respectful manner.
