Tips before hiring a sports hall

• Check that the sports hall has the equipment/facilities you require
• Visit the sports hall and wider facilities before you commit to any long-term hires
• Always try to negotiate on the price – if there is a lot of availability at a sports hall – they will be desperate to get a group in
• Check the cancellation policy – some providers allow one week’s notice whereas others 1 month
• Negotiate payment terms – try to pay per session or per week if possible, you don’t want to pay a large lump sum & be short on cash
• Ask about changing rooms, showers, toilets, water fountains, car parking & specific entrance directions
• Ask about the storage of your sports equipment on-site so you don’t have to travel with it all the time
