Lilleshall is home to both Olympic and Paralympic athletes, as well as Telford United. GB athletes training here brought home 6 medals from the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, and 16 medals from the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games. England trained here for 2 weeks in 1966 prior to their World Cup victory. It was home of the FA School of Excellence for 15 years. Now Lilleshall is home to GB gymnastics, archery and England Lacrosse. Just some of the specialist facilities include an 8-court sports hall (suitable for basketball, netball, futsal, cricket, badminton, table tennis teams), a 10-acre floodlit playing field and a hockey pitch with the Olympic surface used in London 2012.
