The Hand Stadium is becoming increasingly popular as a regional sports centre for players of both sexes and all ages.

Since 1991, the Hand Stadium has been the home of southern league Clevedon Town. Two years ago, local rivals Clevedon Utd moved to the Stadium in a groundshare move that was to assist them in their goal to obtain promotion to the Screwfix Western League.

The Hand Stadium is also the centre for a blossoming Youth football set-up that provides football coaching for children of both sexes - from six to sixteen. Clevedon Town recently became the first football club in the county - at any level - to be granted the FA Community Charter award.

But it's not just football at the Hand Stadium complex. The Astroturf pitch is the venue for several local mens and ladies hockey clubs, and is also utilised by a number of schools and colleges in the region.
