CrossFit, football and the Leen.

For training, CrossFit Comet runs CrossFit classes plus coaching in weightlifting and strongman, with drop-ins and a kids' programme. Ellis Guilford Sports Centre and the Vernon Park Sports Pavilion offer more space, and Basford United, founded in 1900, plays at Greenwich Avenue in the Northern Premier League.
Vernon Park hosts local football teams, and Basford, David Lane and Wilkinson Street tram stops are close by. CrossFit is built around classes, so it's an easy place to pick up a regular training partner.
