Astro pitch · Studio gym · Treatment room
A multi-purpose facility in the middle of Market Harborough
A brand-new indoor arena with a studio gym and a treatment room alongside the pitch. Home to WDR Coaching, and open to hire by clubs, coaches, personal trainers, therapists, businesses and local organisations — under a roof, whatever the weather is doing.

What’s here
Four ways to use the centre
Coaching, facility hire, the studio gym and birthday parties. Some of it we run; the rest is space other people take by the hour for whatever they do — football, fitness, therapy, training or an event.
What we run
- First Kicks→Their first taste of football, ages 2–6. Mini Bees and Mini Badgers, Tuesdays and Thursdays.
- WDR Coaching→One to one, in pairs, in small groups, or with written feedback. For players of all ages and abilities, and led by our founder and lead coach alongside other professional coaches.
- Birthday parties→Ninety minutes on the indoor astro, up to fourteen children. Three packages from £100, with a goodie bag for every child.
Facility hire
- Astro pitch→Indoor, all-weather. Team training, fitness circuits, small groups and private use. Off-peak hire from £15 an hour.
- Studio Gym→A room of your own for training. From £5 a session, exclusive hire from £15 an hour, and two new classes from October.
- Treatment room→Home to HP Massage and Matt Firth Physio, who take their own bookings direct.

WDR Coaching
Coaching, and someone who watches
WDR Coaching is William Ronald’s — the home of Harborough football. Will is our founder and lead coach, and he coaches here alongside other professional coaches.
Sessions run in the arena, one to one, in pairs, or in small groups. We also take sessions outdoors: the kit goes in the van and travels from here, so the session is set up properly wherever it lands.
Hire the space
Take it by the hour
The pitch, the studio gym and the treatment room all go out to hire — by coaches, personal trainers, physios, therapists, teams, businesses and local organisations. Off-peak pitch hire starts at £15 an hour.

What’s on
News from the centre
We are still adding things, so this is where they land — new sessions, new hirers, and whatever we have been up to around town.
Harborough Carnival
The carnival is in June and always a big one for us, being where we are. Harborough Town players came down for meet and greets, and we gave away a signed Harborough Town shirt.
Fun days
We open the arena up through the holidays — games, inflatables, the trophies out on the pitch, and the whole place given over to it. Keep an eye on our social media for the next one.
