Towards A Level Playing Field is a methodology and electronic kitbag developed to help Loacl Authoriities assess the level of playing field provision within its area. This methodology is complemented with an electronic toolkit which includes a number of useful tools and templates to collect the necessary information needed to complete a pitch assessment.

Towards a Level Playing Field
A methodology to help assess the level of provision of playing fields within your area and write a playing pitch strategy.

Towards a Level Playing Field - electronic toolkit
This toolkit accompanies Towards a level Playing Field. It includes survey questionnaires, pitch quality assessment template and the Playing Pitch Model.

Team generation rate calculator
The team generation rate is the number of people from a specified age group required to make up one team. It is used to calculate the local rate of team formation, which can then be compared to the national or regional average.

This calculator helps you work out the TGR for the main pitch sports within your local authority area. It should be used in conjunction with the TGR database and as part of any pitch assessment (see Towards a Level Playing Field).

Team generation rate database
This is a compilation of TGRs from across the country and have been taken from completed playing pitch strategies.

This database allows you to compare your TGR to similar local authority areas.  The different age group bandings by sport follow the methodology set out in Towards a Level Playing Field. This database will be updated with more TGRs when they are made available.
