football at sandylands
football for everyone
The majority of football at the Centre is played on the floodlit artificial turf pitch for 5 / 6 / 7 aside games and is used for football training by many of the local male and female senior and junior football teams that operate in the Craven District.
Available for hire throughout the year, the pitch offers a quality playing surface both day and night that ‘feels and plays like grass’, while having the added benefit of withstanding the majority of what the varied British weather has to offer.
The pitch is on the FA 3G Pitch Register meaning it conforms to all FA regulations and can be used for 11 aside affiliated league matches if required.
Football is also played indoors in the main sports hall, giving you the chance to play without worrying about the varied British weather!
