The Albion Academy

Five-a-side football is hugely popular in North West Manchester and can be enjoyed at The Albion Academy all year around. It is a brilliant place to play football and perhaps one of the best in the north west.

The goals are always in top condition and the sand-based pitch is clearly marked out for visitors. This grassroots venue is perfect for one off football games with friends, family and colleagues. If you need to borrow a football or need to pump one up, it’s worth checking with the venue if they provide this service and if any charges are involved. Footwear depends on the surface, but in nearly all cases studded football boots are not allowed on the pitch.

Powerful floodlights surrounding the sporting area ensure that activities can continue throughout the calendar year. During the working week, it remains possible to play after office hours with colleagues or friends.

Free parking is available for sports players arriving by car. Parking spaces can, however, be harder to find during peak times and it’s worth confirming with the venue before turning up to save any unwanted costs.

The facility is available to hire on a pay as you play basis which means that there are no additional membership fees involved. This makes it ideal for those wanting to play on a more casual basis. Simply book your session when you like and turn up to play.

Are you looking to regularly play sport or engage in a physical activity? Block bookings usually last for around ten weeks and are the perfect way to get that weekly game in. Block bookings take the stress away of finding somewhere to play each week.

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 bus stop is Cromwell Road/Langley Road South. 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.
