Secondary schools across the UK will need to equip themselves with sports club furniture as part of a government plan to hold special sessions dedicated to certain disciplines during 2012.
The Department for Culture, Media and Sport has outlined plans for 4,000 community sports clubs to be created over the coming year, with secondary schools playing host.
Links with professional sports organisations will see 2,000 football clubs working with schools, 1,300 rugby union teams, 1,250 cricket clubs, and 1,000 representatives each from tennis and rugby league.
Schools may need to invest in sports club furniture not only for children, but also to cater for adult patrons, as the government says facilities located on school premises will soon be opened up for local community use.
Among them are the three quarters of all England's artificial sports pitches and sports halls, along with one in three swimming pools, that are currently part of schools.
Some £10 million has been allocated to open these facilities for wider use, with a five-year, £1 billion strategy outlined to help create in-school sports clubs of all kinds.
For schools and private clubs alike, stacking and folding sports club furniture is an ideal way to furnish a space without sacrificing it, as tables and chairs can be moved to the perimeter when the area is needed for classes or games.
