Team Ipswich Facilities

Ipswich has some of the best sporting facilities in the country including centres of excellence for gymnastics, athletics and hockey. It also has thriving training programmes and new partnerships between clubs such as Team Ipswich Cycling. These develop talent in individual sports including archery, boxing, basketball, cricket, cycling, netball, football, golf, judo, karate, rugby, sailing, swimming, tennis, volleyball and much more.

Pipers Vale gymnastics centre, which hosted the Romanian team and Team GB for training sessions prior to the 2004 Athens Olympics, has recently been extended. It is helping Team Ipswich become the Gateway to the 2012 Olympic Games and offers recreational opportunities for the whole community as well as training for elite gymnasts.

Team Ipswich is also working with Ipswich Borough Council to identify which sporting facilities need new investment.

"Ipswich in particular, with its sporting heritage, facilities and proximity to London is ideally situated to benefit from 2012 and I wish Team Ipswich every success in their efforts to maximise this wonderful opportunity".
