About Samuel Montagu Youth Centre
Samuel Montagu Youth Centre is a community space that provides youth activities, community sports facilities and educational services.
SMYC has been established for over 50 years, serving our communities and working across the generations offering different sports and development opportunities for local people in Greenwich.
Our main objectives are to provide high quality and affordable sports facilities; and provide a warm and welcoming centre for the benefit of different local community groups.
SMYC has a full size 11v11 3G Artificial Grass football pitch. Currently we have over 450 registered teams, groups and organisations using our pitch on a regular basis. The football pitch provides affordable high quality playing surface for teams to train, host matches and play league games. It remains one of the most affordable artificial grass pitches locally for teams and organisations to use for the benefit of their players.
Our football pitch is heavily overused, and the demand of the pitch outweighs our ability to maintain the facility. The pitch recently failed the FA pitch test, as a result teams are no longer able to play FA league matches on our pitch. This has caused a big upset to many of our community teams, who used our pitches for the home league games.
Our football pitch playing surface is now passed its recommended usage time of 10 years. Soon, within the next 2 years, the playing surface will drastically deteriorate, making it unsafe to use.
