Joining a team

If you need the motivation that working out with a friend gives you, or simply want to join a team in the city centre, there are many options in Manchester. Footy Addicts is a startup based in London that organises football games in Manchester six days a week. In the nearby Platt Fields park in Fallowfield, Parkrun is a friendly five kilometre run every Saturday morning.
