City Academy Bristol

I’m reviewing the sports centre part rather the college/​school — as I don’t know anyone who attends as a student!
The brand new facilities are a revelation — clean, sharp styling and with innovative changing rooms and showers. David Beckham himself even visited here last year!
There is more sport and fitness on offer than you can shake a stick at, so if your kids say they’re bored then you can ship them off to the City Academy for a couple of hours to wear them out.
To give you a brief idea: the centre offers Five-​a-​Side footie (indoor and outdoor), 11-​a-​side, Tennis, Basketball, Netball, Volleyball, Rugby, American Football, Cricket and Badminton. They run energetic courses in Boxing, Martial Arts and Fencing (en garde!).
The space is huge — a massive indoor sports hall (35-​a-​side court), an outdoor 3G artificial grass 11-​a-​side pitch with goals; can be split into 4 outdoor 5-​a-​side courts; and 2 full size tennis courts and 1 kids tennis court, plus a great little café to recover in afterwards with a cuppa!
