Why Sports World? The top reasons why Sports World is the best indoor/outdoor sports facility in New England: Location, Location, Location-- Our facility is located right off Route 91 directly between Hartford and Springfield. 3 Large indoor fields-- Our fields are 200 feet x 100 feet with a maximum height of 60 feet. This size allows for full speed action. There are no sideboards to worry about and there are no overhead nets to get in the way. Outdoor Facilities-- We have a full-sized outdoor field suitable for any sport including field hockey, soccer, baseball and lacrosse. This means that we can operate day or night, good weather or bad, hot or cold. We are truly your year 'round facility. Hotel Facilities-- We are located within walking distance of a hotel. There are no fewer than six full service hotels within a few miles of the facility. Other stuff to do-- We understand that the whole family might not want to stay and watch all of the games or practices. Our facility is within six miles of the Enfield Mall. We are within 20 minutes of the Basketball Hall of Fame. There are movies theaters, restaurants, shopping and much more within 5 minutes of the facility. The entire family can come with your team--and still have an outstanding visit. There is something for everyone. Management that cares-- Sports World was started by a group of parents who were constantly taking their children to practices, tournaments, and try-outs at far away indoor facilities. These owners/developers know what you want (and don't want) in a sports facility for your children. They also want to know how to make this facility better. Feel free to contribute your thoughts. We want to listen! Please send your comments to sportsworld@sportsworld.cc or call us at 860-254-5137.
