Find Football Pitches in Luton

Luton has had a long association with grassroots football owing to the club Luton Town. The Hatters play in the football league and were founded in 1885. Luton have a passionate fan base and play games at Kenilworth Road in Bedfordshire. Partly thanks to Luton Town, there has been a major uptake for grassroots football in the local communities and Luton has some wonderful places to enjoy games. There is wide selection of grassroots football pitches to cater for all players’ needs. There are a good number of grass full size pitches which complement the 3G or astroturf pitches for use all through the year. The two work perfectly to ensure games are not abandoned owing to increment weather.

Smaller format football games like 5-a-side and 7-a-side are perfect for games during the week and or for those who cannot quite get the numbers required for a full game. 5-a-side and 7-a-side grassroots games also tend to be played for an hour, thirty minutes less than a full 11-a-side game, which means more games can be put on during the week. Luton has plenty of grassroots leagues and tournaments for players looking for a regular competitive challenge. Make sure you turn up with the correct footwear as the requirements do differ for the various grassroots surfaces in Luton.
