The outdoor pitches are located at the Cyncoed and Llandaff Campuses. There are four pitches at Cyncoed used for football and rugby league as well as the all weather astroturf which primarily accommodates hockey training and fixtures. The pitches are used for lectures, BUSA competitions and for our UWIC teams who play in leagues outside BUSA competitions. Apart from the cricket pitch in Llandaff the pitches are rarely hired to the local community as there is a need to maintain the pitches to a high standard.
