Five-a-side football is hugely popular in North West Manchester and can be enjoyed at University of Salford Sports Centre 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 indoor 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.

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.

Pay as you play is the system in operation here. This means sports players don’t have to make a financial commitment for the month or year. It also allows players to get a feel for a sports venue before looking to book more regular games.

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 spacious and clean changing rooms available for sports players. These make it possible to get ready for your session on arrival and change after if anyone is heading straight into work afterwards – or out for a drink with teammates.

The nearest station is Salford Crescent which makes travelling via public transport a very good option. The venue is just a short walk away from the station and makes for an ideal warm-up and warm down exercise to bookend your game.
