Walking Football – Active Adults
Monday, 19:00-20:30, Gordon Fields, Brickhill Drive, £40 for 8 weeks
Walking football is the next big thing and become increasingly popular over the past couple of years! Walking Football was initially designed to help get the over 50’s back into football and exercise. However, we welcome all ages to our sessions. The main differences between standard football and walking football are two rules of no running and no slide tackles. Play the game you love but reduce the chances of injury. It’s a great way to keep fit, learn skills, have fun and socialise all at the same time!
