What Football Activities Do We Ofer?
We have excellent 4G and 3G pitches available for casual weekly and block bookings at Bolton Arena, Horwich Leisure Centre, and Westhoughton Community Leisure Centre – all floodlit with changing facilities and showers available.
They’re all capable of hosting different formats of the beautiful game – from 5-a-side to 11-a-side and everything in between.
We also have a full-size grass pitch (90.5mx70.5m) at Bolton Arena available for casual weekly bookings along with season-long residencies for 9- or 11-a-side teams.
If you like your football with a competitive edge, we have adult (16-plus) 5, 9 and 11-a-side leagues, a youth league and a business league.
Matches last 50 minutes, and the season runs for 21 weeks. We endeavour to provide teams with a league match every week. In the event of cancellations or postponements, our league co-ordinator will provide the option of a friendly match.
