Normanton Park Cruyff Court
Normanton Park Cruyff Court
The Normanton Park Sports Courts project is managed by Sporting Communities. Based in the beautiful Normanton Park, Derby City, these fantastic facilities are designed to provide safe, active spaces and play a vital role in creating opportunities for children, families and sports enthusiasts to take part in a range of different activities regardless of age or ability.
The 2 courts are available to hire but also have dedicated open access times so that the community can access the courts for free. Sporting Communities also run a series of sports sessions for those who are inactive, lacking confidence in being physically active and who require supportive provision to prevent them from being lured into anti-social activities.

Normanton Park Cruyff Court
The Normanton Park Cruyff Court was funded by the Johan Cruyff Foundation, Derby Homes and Sporting Communities.
The Johan Cruyff Foundation supports and develops impactful sports and play projects all around the world, focussing on children and youngsters for whom sport isn’t a guaranteed part of their lives.
Children need a safe place that encourages them to play outside. That’s what Cruyff Courts are: a safe place to get together and where children get to know the importance of togetherness, making friends, discovering your own talents, and winning and losing. These are valuable experiences that they carry with them as they develop physically and mentally, and as they move into society.
The 14 rules of Johan Cruyff are rules of conduct that must be followed and that everyone needs to hold each other to account. Themes like respect, teamwork, creativity, and initiative guide players to be aware of their responsibility and how to interact with each other.
