Walking Football for over 50's

[AthenlayFootballClub]

Athenlay Football Club have started a Walking football group at the Homestall Road Playing Fields (https://goo.gl/maps/UCPspkYSoh82) and would like to invite local people to come along and play. It is open to both male and female participants aged 50 + but women slightly younger are also welcomed to play.

Walking football is ideal for helping people to stay fit and healthy, who perhaps may be recovering from an injury or surgery such as a knee or hip replacement or have diabetes, or simply want to become more active and make some new friends while keeping fit. So why not come and enjoy the beautiful game with this modified version of football that is tailored to meet the needs for all abilities.

The sessions take place outdoors on the 4G pitch at the home of Athenlay Football Club (Homestall Road Playing Fields, Homestall Road SE22 0RN), every Tuesday morning from 10am to 11:30am and is FREE for participants to play.

Players can wear comfortable warm clothing, including hats and gloves, but you must wear trainers or moulded stud boots, shin pads are advisable but not a must. Also make sure that you bring along a water bottle to keep hydrated.
