Sports Facility and Pitch Hire Agreement

About this document

What it’s for

Many clubs and leisure providers hire out their facilities to other groups, from regular block bookings to one-off events. A written hire agreement makes clear who is responsible for what – especially supervision, safety, safeguarding and insurance – and protects your facility from damage and unpaid fees.

When to use it

  • For regular block bookings and one-off hires
  • For coaches running their own sessions, holiday camps, parties and events
  • When renting your facility to another club for training or matches

What’s inside

The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.

  4. Hirer’s responsibilities

  6. Insurance

  10. General

Also included

  • Schedule 1 – Booking details

How to complete it

  • Complete the booking details in Schedule 1
  • Check the hirer’s insurance, and their safeguarding arrangements if children will attend
  • Both parties sign before the first booking; keep it with your bookings records

Key points to check

  • This is a licence, not a lease – it gives the hirer no right to occupy beyond the booked times
  • If alcohol, entertainment or large numbers are involved, check licensing and capacity requirements
