Anticipation is building at RGS ahead of September when our pupils will start using this exceptional new facility. There is also excitement at the possibility of the Centre being used as a training venue for international teams during the Commonwealth Games held in Birmingham in 2022. A delegation from the Games visited the facility recently to review whether it could be used as a training venue.
Construction of the Worcester International Hockey Centre at Perdiswell commenced in October 2020, through a partnership between RGS and Worcester Hockey Club and is on track for completion this summer. The development will be a community asset and has the support of Worcester City Council.
Those who have observed progress from the Droitwich Road have seen the site being levelled, the foundations laid, fences and floodlighting erected and the international standard water-based pitches being installed. The final major step comprises the installation of the pavilion and the completion of the landscaping.
