Proposals for a new specialist sports facility in Aberaeron, which has already secured backing from numerous local organisations, have been lodged with Ceredigion council. Ysgol Gyfun Aberaeron, via Sports Labs Limited, wants to build a new Cruyff court on the existing tarmac tennis court site, complete with LED floodlighting, at Aberaeron Comprehensive School on South Road. A supporting document reveals the project would involve building a new Cruyff Court alongside a 3 v 3 basketball facility, polymeric trail circuit with run-off into a landing area and modern LED lighting infrastructure at Ysgol Gyfun Aberaeron under the Cruyff Foundation initiative. A Cruyff Court comprises a compact football pitch featuring an artificial grass surface, which can accommodate various other sporting activities.

The document continues: "A new Cruyff Court will be beneficial to current school facilities, with a new upgraded playing surface, and the addition of a four-column LED floodlight system to allow for longer playing use throughout the day, increasing the school/community access. "To benefit the experience and inclusivity, the trail and basketball court will allow the additional activities. The benefit of a Cruyff court promotes equality for user and a safe place to play small-sided games. "The new Cruyff court will be able to facilitate the usage during the evening and weekend hours, providing a high-quality space for the school. The proposal will also encourage and support healthy lifestyles with a floodlight facility being playable throughout the year." The turf system is described as "a Tiger Turf NRG (No Rubber Granules) which is a new generation of multi-sports turf that does not require performance infills," and is "constructed from two of the most wear-resistant technical yarns available". The Cruyff Court is said to offer an opportunity to enhance the 'inclusive' facilities for both the school and local community. Letters of support have been received from various groups and organisations, including Ceredigion's Pupil Referral Unit, Aberaeron Netball Club, Aberaeron Cricket Club, Aberaeron Rugby Club, and local football clubs. The application will be reviewed by county planners at a future date.
