Description

The Walking Football session gives people the opportunity to rediscover the joys of playing football and the basic elements of a match accessible to them by slowing the game down to a walking pace. The sessions are structured and delivered by qualified instructors who are experienced in delivering these activities.

Men of all abilities are welcome. Walking Football is not uniquely for older men. There may be some players recovering from injuries or have a health condition who may find the sessions preferable to regular 5-a-side football.

Our Wednesday session is for men and women.

No booking required., simply turn up and play!
