CopriSystems is redefining year-round football training with innovative, all-weather structures that offer unmatched flexibility, speed of installation, and performance for clubs and organisations alike.
CopriSystems is a family-run business located in Erlestoke, England.
Robin Colenso founded the company in February 1989, after first getting into the industry by starting an international haulage business.
After seeing a retractable canopy concept at a trade show and being impressed by its potential, Robin worked to develop and broaden the product range to meet the needs of sectors from industry to education.
Since then, CorpiSystems has become a trusted provider of high-quality, all-season sports and recreational facilities, including sports domes, halls, gyms, training centres, schools, and leisure centres.
From start to finish, they offer a complete, hassle-free service—helping with planning, interior fit-outs, flooring, and even financing options.
Their structures are built to meet all required building standards, often need little to no groundwork, and can be set up quickly and efficiently.
When it comes to football, CopriSystems provides custom, affordable structures that let teams train and play in perfect conditions, whatever the weather.
Football can be played in all kinds of weather, but heavy rain, strong winds, and dark evenings can still make training difficult.
To combat this, their structures offer year-round protection from the elements, keeping players warm and dry whatever the season—and with custom lighting options, games can continue well into the night.
Their structures are a great alternative to fixed buildings for indoor football facilities and provide total flexibility for clubs.
CopriSystems has partnered with a wide range of organisations and clubs, most notably the Swindon Town FC Community Foundation.
Swindon faced a real shortage of quality sports facilities, especially for vulnerable groups, alongside a strong desire to use sport as a way to bring the community together.
To help bridge that gap, CopriSystems designed and installed a fully custom facility.
The structure houses two artificial 5-a-side football pitches with a spectator viewing area.
It now offers a safe, weatherproof space where groups—including young people with disabilities and those at risk of social exclusion—can enjoy and take part in sports all year round.
So why should Australian football clubs and organisations use CopriSystems.
Australian football clubs often deal with the same ongoing challenges—unpredictable weather, not always having access to good-quality facilities year-round, and needing affordable, adaptable spaces.
Australia’s climate varies drastically—from intense heat to seasonal rains—and while football can be played in most conditions, poor weather can still disrupt training and matches.
CopriSystems’ weatherproof structures create reliable indoor environments, protecting players from rain, wind, and the harsh sun.
Also, unlike traditional brick-and-mortar buildings, CopriSystems’ structures require minimal groundwork, meet all necessary building standards, and can be installed quickly and efficiently.
This flexibility allows clubs to expand or upgrade their facilities without long construction delays or high costs, making it a smart investment for many clubs and organisations.
A great example of an Australian organisation that could benefit from CopriSystems is the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS).
Last May, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced a $249.7 million investment to upgrade AIS facilities.
Part of these upgrades includes building a large indoor Sports Dome which is to offer 24/7, all-weather training for track and field sports, including football.
The Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) stands to gain immensely by partnering with CopriSystems to construct their new indoor Sports Dome.
With CopriSystems’ decades of experience in delivering high-quality, all-weather sports facilities, the AIS can create a versatile, durable, and efficient training environment.
This state-of-the-art Sports Dome will provide athletes with 24/7 access to protected, climate-controlled spaces, allowing uninterrupted training for track and field events, including football.
With a proven track record, a passion for innovation, and a commitment to quality, CopriSystems is perfectly positioned to help Australian clubs and organisations future-proof their facilities and elevate football training for years to come.
