De ella han salido grandes perlas que deslumbran no sólo en el panorama nacional, sino también en el mundial. El recinto sevillista está ubicado a las afueras de la ciudad, en la carretera de Utrera. Su estructura es densa y ha ido evolucionando con el paso del tiempo. Actualmente, es el cuartel general del primer equipo, donde lleva a cabo la gran parte del trabajo semanal. Además, existe un campo de hierba principal, con las dimensiones apropiadas para que el filial dispute sus encuentros oficiales."
