Irlam and Cadishead College

If you want to play 5-a-side football in South West Manchester, the 3G astroturf pitch at Irlam and Cadishead College is an excellent option. Not all pitches cater for 7-a-side as they’re often full sized or too small for 14 players, but this pitch is ideal for this version of small sided football, with clear markings and standard goals. You can book the pitch on a one-off basis or make regular bookings for training or competitive matches at the same time every week. Check with the facility ahead of your booking if you require a football or any other equipment, as these may be available for hire for a small fee.

This sports facility has floodlights making it ideal for after work games. It also means you can play comfortably after dark and in the winter months.

The facility operates on a pay as you play basis, meaning you can make a one-off booking without having to become a member. This is perfect for those who wish to turn up and play on a casual basis and avoid the commitment of paying a monthly membership fee.

There is the opportunity to make a block booking at Irlam and Cadishead College for those who wish to secure a pitch or court for the same time every week. This is an ideal option for teams who wish to hold regular training sessions or just to have a guaranteed weekly game with your friends. The process is a lot smoother as you don’t have to worry about paying before each session every week. Block bookings usually require advanced payment and last for 10 consecutive weeks. However, our team will try to find the best possible option for you if you require a different number of weeks.

There are well maintained changing rooms at the venue for use upon arrival. This is perfect for those heading to their session straight after work in the evenings or during their lunch break, making the transition from work to play that much easier.

If you’d rather travel to the venue via public transport the nearest station is Irlam. The short walk makes it easy to get to the facility without the worry of finding a parking space and acts as a gentle warm-up before your session.
