Walking Football is non-contact and is great for those who would like to play a slower paced game.  Whether you are a beginner, or have previously played but can no longer run around due to injury, Walking Football is a great way to be active and meet new friends.

It’s great for women who want to learn to play, as well as those who may be coming back from injury or those who just enjoy playing a slower paced game.

Getting active at age 40+ is really important for not only mental health but physical health too and you’ll meet some brilliant women while you’re playing. If you’ve not played before this is an ideal session for you to start!

We play outdoors on an astro pitch which is also used for hockey and has a lovely new surface, so please wear astro trainers and not studded boots.

Sessions will involve a warm up, some drills and a game at the end and it will all be fun and enjoyable regardless of anyone’s ability.

The first session is FREE and the following sessions, at the moment, are £2 each as we were lucky to receive some funding in celebration of TNL’s 25 years.  #CelebrateLottery25 has helped us to keep the fee low and we will keep it low for as long as we can.
