The questions we are asked most

It is a proposed football, rugby and performance destination for women and girls in Hull and East Yorkshire: one integrated building over two principal floors with a set-back rooftop hospitality level, alongside four full-size grass pitches.

Participation in women’s and girls’ football and rugby has grown rapidly, but the infrastructure has not kept pace. Talented players in the region routinely travel elsewhere for the standard of coaching, testing, conditioning and medical support that should be available locally.

Training and play across the gyms and pitches is for women and girls. The café, restaurant, rooftop club, conference suite, education spaces and family areas serve everyone, and men are welcome as coaches, staff, professional service providers and guests in those public spaces.

Approximately £40 million to £60 million, subject to professional validation. This is a broad indicative range for discussion only, not a costed estimate.

The intention is a blended structure combining private investment, development partnership, sponsorship and naming rights, philanthropic support through the Founders’ Wall, and grant funding from sport, health, education and regeneration sources.

No. Nothing on this website or in the prospectus constitutes an offer of investment, a financial promotion or a commitment of any kind. All material is provided for discussion.

Detailed projections are not published on this site. The commercial model describes the revenue streams and how they interact; financial detail is shared directly with serious parties under appropriate arrangements.

A site has not yet been secured. The proposal is for Hull and East Yorkshire, and a search is underway for an indicative 18–22 acre site with suitable access, services and planning prospects.

An indicative 18–22 acres, accommodating the building, four full-size pitches, parking, servicing, landscaping and ecological provision.

Landowners, agents, promoters and developers are invited to get in touch through the contact page. Land conversations are a current priority for the project.

Ground floor: athlete operations, the Women’s Gym of approximately 200 stations, a strength and conditioning gym of approximately 40 stations, physiotherapy, recovery, changing, crèche, café and restaurant. First floor: conference suite, education and classrooms, analysis suite and administration. Rooftop: The White Rose Rooftop Club, an indoor bar with an outdoor terrace.

Four full-size grass pitches: two for rugby and two for football, with correct markings, posts and floodlighting.

No. No stadium, grandstands or spectator seating are proposed. The Institute is a performance and participation destination rather than a match-day venue.

No. The recovery suite is specified for performance benefit — sauna, hot and cold immersion, contrast bathing and compression recovery. The capital and running costs of a pool are disproportionate to the benefit.

A crèche with a secure overlooked garden is proposed, because childcare is one of the largest practical barriers to regular training. Provision would be subject to registration, staffing ratios, safeguarding policy, insurance and operator approval.

Through connected streams: gym and recovery memberships, academies and private coaching, pitch hire, corporate wellbeing, physiotherapy and clinical services, education and conferencing, hospitality across the café, restaurant and rooftop club, sponsorship and naming rights, and the player-development model.

Academy players would be offered development contracts to the age of 21. A club may buy a player out of that contract early, and sell-on entitlements of 20% of a future transfer fee are proposed. All arrangements would be subject to governing-body regulation and legal advice.

Yes. Naming-rights and facility-partnership opportunities are proposed across the building, the gyms, the pitches, the conference suite and the rooftop club. Discussions are open now.

A permanent architectural record of the people and organisations who make the Institute possible, built into the fabric of the entrance atrium, with a digital companion display. Five levels of recognition are proposed.

No. Philanthropic support is a gift and carries recognition rather than any financial return, ownership, equity or commercial entitlement. Investment and sponsorship are separate routes.

You can register your interest now. No payment is taken through this website; registrations are simply expressions of interest, followed up directly.

Yes. Club, county, school and college use is central to the proposal, alongside community programmes, camps and holiday provision.

The café, restaurant, members’ lounge, rooftop club, conference suite and education spaces are public-facing and open to all visitors.

Improved access to physical activity for women and girls, female coaching and officiating pathways, education alongside sport, local employment and a regional facility that currently has no equivalent.

Early-stage concept. The vision, masterplan concept, facility brief and prospectus are complete; the site search, partnership conversations and funding discussions are live.

No construction date can responsibly be given. Delivery depends on securing a site, funding, planning consent and technical assessment.

Through the news and project updates page on this website, and directly with registered partners and supporters.

Investors, sponsors, corporate partners, landowners, developers, grant providers, football and rugby clubs, education partners and healthcare partners.

Early partners help shape the brief while it is still being written, and secure first choice of the naming, facility and programme opportunities that follow.
