Producing a playing pitch strategy for the first time can be time-consuming and labour-intensive. However, the benefits of producing a playing pitch strategy for Hong Kong are considerable: Corporate and strategic • It ensures a strategic approach to playing pitch provision. During times of change, a playing pitch strategy will provide direction and set priorities for pitch sports, in particular football, rugby and hockey. • It provides robust evidence for capital funding. As well as proving the need for capital contributions from National Sports Associations and sports clubs towards pitches and facilities, a playing pitch strategy can provide evidence of need for a range of capital grants and investment from the Government. • It helps deliver government policies for social inclusion, environmental protection, community involvement, sports development and healthy living. • It helps demonstrate the value of leisure and cultural services during times of increasing scrutiny on these services and the high demand for space in Hong Kong. • It helps the stakeholders make informed decision via a robust process through: Consultation with pitch-based sports clubs, providers and organised leagues Challenging the current system for sports pitch ownership, management and maintenance Comparison with other districts through various benchmarks (e.g. Team generation rates) Competition, perhaps for pitch maintenance contracts. It also encourages continuous improvement through monitoring, auditing and benchmarking. Planning • It provides a basis for establishing new pitch requirements arising lack of provision, increased demand, new urban developments and population growth. • It is one of the best tools for the protection of pitches threatened by development. • It provides a holistic approach to open space improvement and protection. Operational • It will improve a district’s asset management, which should result in more efficient use of resources and reduced overheads. • It highlights locations where quality of provision can be enhanced. Sports and football development • It helps identify where community use of school sports pitches is most needed. • It provides better information to residents and other users of sports pitches . This includes information about both pitches and sports teams. • It promotes sports development and can help unlock latent demand by identifying where the lack of facilities might be suppressing the formation of teams. Football Development in Hong Kong The Playing Pitch Model - Methodology The Playing Pitch Model (PPM) is an eight-stage process for producing a playing pitch strategy. The eight stages of the PPM are: Stage 1 Identifying teams/team equivalents Stage 2 Calculating home games per team per week Stage 3 Assessing total home games per week Stage 4 Establishing temporal demand for games Stage 5 Defining pitches used/required on each day Stage 6 Establishing pitches available Stage 7 Assessing the findings Stage 8 Identifying policy options and solutions Football Development in Hong Kong It is important to note that the PPM should be applied to each relevant pitch sport and to any relevant geographical areas. The PPM is used as a numerical model and there are three main ways in which the model is used: • To reflect the existing situation, using data on existing teams and pitches • To test the adequacy of current provision by manipulating the variables in the model • To predict future requirements for pitches, by incorporating planned pitches and projected changes in population.
