WHAT DO I WEAR TO TRAINING?
All our Monday facilities are on 3G so we’d recommend wearing astro or moulded boots and shin pads.
BUT… wear whatever makes you feel comfortable, whether that’s jogging bottoms, the latest Manchester United footie shirt or an old t-shirt from the back of your drawer that would work!
Please wear trainers if you’re trying footie for the first time before purchasing anything!!!
WHAT IF I BOOK ON AND THEN I CAN’T MAKE IT ANYMORE?
If you’re cancelling on the Monday we won’t be able to offer any form of refund or transfer of your spot.
We do NOT offer refunds for Monday night sessions under any circumstances. This is simply because we’d need to increase the cost per person in order to afford the admin involved with refunding individuals.
We DO offer transfers to future weeks for individuals who cancel over 24 hours before the session.
BEGINNER SESSIONS: WHO IS THIS SESSION FOR AND WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS SESSION?
You are 10000000% welcome if you’ve never kicked a ball. PLEASE give it a go and I promise you won’t be alone! We have brand new beginners every single week!
This session is hosted by 2-3 Laces representatives and is all about fun, confidence building and learning the basics of football. We usually have 30-40 minutes of drills and then 20 minutes of game time. This session is always packed out with 40+ beginner folk who are all there to make friends.
This session is usually the start of a love affair with football so be warned. You WILL fall in love with football after coming along to this…
I only want to play casually, IS THAT OK?
This is exactly why we’ve got the Monday sessions! You can commit once in a blue moon or every single week, it’s totally your call!
Is there anyone I can speak to if I want to ask any questions?
You can email us: info@manchesterlaces.com
Please don’t direct message on Spond as it only goes to 1 person and is unmanageable.
MEMBERSHIP LACES FAQs
WHAT IS THE AGE RANGE?
We are an adult football club at this stage welcoming women, transgender and non-binary people from age 16+.
At the moment our club has players from every age group all the way from 16 year olds to 55+! As the club develops we’d be happy to begin hosting sessions for different age groups. As it stands we split sessions based on footballing experience to ensure everyone feels like they’re developing.
WHAT DO I WEAR TO TRAINING?
Firstly: If you have an issue sourcing kit/equipment then please reach out to us. We can help!
We’d recommend wearing astro or moulded boots and shin pads. We train and play mainly on 3G surfaces. Our Sunday 11aside fixtures are often on grass.
Wear whatever makes you feel comfortable, whether that’s jogging bottoms, the latest Manchester United footie shirt or an old t-shirt from the back of your drawer that would work! Please wear trainers if you’re keen to try footie for the first time!
HOW DOES MEMBERSHIP WORK?
Firstly: If you have an issue with paying for membership please reach out to one of our leaders and chat with us. We can help!
If you choose to be a full member (monthly fee payer) then you’ll be set up on a site called TeamFeePay. We have a standard membership of £22.50 but we offer price reductions for players if they need support with fees. There is no obstacle to you playing so please don’t worry about the fee!
We also offer Monday night ad-hoc games for those who don’t want to commit to monthly membership.
IS IT OK IF I’VE NEVER PLAYED BEFORE?
100000000000% yes!!! We would love you to come along. We would welcome you into the family with open arms. We can’t wait to see you fall in love with footie!
I only want to play casually / i want to play all the time, is that okay?
Basically YES to everything! This is a no pressure club! You can play in our ad-hoc weekly sessions which are all about game time, exercise, fun and social. You can come along for development sessions and learn about the game in our Thursday sessions, you can strive to play in our league team and fight it out for silverware!
