WALKING FOOTBALL

Are you aged 50 or over and enjoy the beautiful game of football? Walking football could be for you. 

At a number of our Better leisure centres, you'll be able to sign up for walking football and enjoy a weekly game, meet new people and have a chat over tea and coffee.

Whether you're completely new to the game or played football when you were younger, walking football will add a new lease of life to your week. 

Our weekly Walking Football sessions run every Sunday from 11:00-13:00.These sessions are suitable for those looking for a lower impact activity and to meet new friends.

What are the benefits of walking football?

  • Keeps you active - as the name suggests, you're constantly moving as well as having fun
  • Improves stamina - participating in weekly activity means you can keep going for longer
  • Healthier heart - activity lowers your cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar and decreases risks of diabetes type 2
  • Better balance - you'll find working on one leg, kicking the ball will help with your balance
  • Meet new friends -  get to know your community and build a camaraderie with people from a number of different backgrounds
