The term “MUGA” is used alot within the industry, but if you are in education you may not be so familiar with what the term actually means. MUGA actually stands for Multi Use Games Area, usually manufactured from artificial grass, and incorporate the different pitch marking required to accomodate a number of sports, all on the same pitch. Thus increasing the number of activities that may be played on the MUGA without the expense of providing different pitches and courts.
