Question 1

What is Play on the Pitch?

Accepted Answer

Play on the Pitch is Precision Pass's flagship stadium football tournament experience, operating since 2010. Youth football teams, boys and girls aged U7 to U16, play competitive football on the actual grass pitches at Premier League and Football League stadiums. Every team enters through the players' entrance, uses the dressing rooms, walks out of the tunnel to a matchday anthem, and has their names read out on the stadium PA. Precision Pass created the Play on the Pitch concept in the UK.

Yes. Precision Pass organises UK youth football tournaments where children genuinely play on the pitch at iconic Premier League stadiums including Old Trafford, Emirates Stadium, Anfield, Stamford Bridge, Villa Park, Elland Road, Goodison Park, St James' Park and many more. This is the real pitch, not an artificial surface or adjacent facility.
