Book one of our pitches at the Armitage Centre in Fallowfield to play sport with your household!
The Armitage Sports centre is opening pitches for informal social use through Household Sport. The timetable below summarises the type of activity on each pitch, however, household sport is unstructured and informal so feel free to do any activity permitted on each pitch!
UoM Sport want to make sure that as restrictions ease we are doing what we can to get you and your friends outdoors and active. Structured, competitive sport has really suffered this last year and we know how much everyone just wants to get back outdoors, playing social, recreational sport. Household Sport is aimed at giving existing bubbles within residences or accommodation the opportunity to get active safely.

Risk Assessments for Household Sport Activities
Household Sport Disclaimer
Thank you for booking your household sport session. As the main contact for this session you are responsible for ensuring only students in your household bubble attend the session. All government, university and facility COVID guidelines must be adhered to at all times, failure to do so may result in disciplinary actions.
Make sure you, or single individual (not your entire group) report to reception at the facility to let them know when you arrive and when you leave. This allows the staff to open and close the pitch for your use. Ensure you are wearing a mask when indoors at the facility.
The activity you selected does not need to be exclusively played for your booking allocation. However, the facility need to know in advance if specific goals or equipment need to be moved on the pitch you are using. You will also need to bring your own equipment as UoM Sport cannot provide any for you.
Please also make sure you also read the further information on the UoM Sport website including the Risk Assessment for your chosen activity.
If any person in your household test positive for COVID then please report the case via the University online form as soon as possible. The link to the reporting form can be found here – https://survey.manchester.ac.uk/pssweb/index.php/878934/lang-en

Thanks and enjoy your session!
How it works

- You are required to report to reception before and after your allocated booking slot. This allows the centre staff to open and close the pitch for your use. Please do not come in with your entire group, just the named person who made the booking.

- There will also be UoM sport staff on site to spot check activity is being carried out safely.
