Walking Football is exactly as the name suggests - you play football, walking!
Aimed at people over 50, this inclusive, fun and sociable version of the game is slow-paced but lacks none of the passion of the original.

Walking Football is exactly as the name suggests - you play football, walking!
Aimed at people over 50, this inclusive, fun and sociable version of the game is slow-paced but lacks none of the passion of the original game.
Whether you're looking to keep active, stay fit, or widen your circle of friends, Walking Football offers the perfect opportunity to do just that, as there are many social health benefits that come with playing.
Taking time to socialise, meet new people or even build confidence are all part and parcel of taking part in this slower version of the beautiful game.
The game originally started in Chesterfield,10 years ago, was popularised by the Barclays bank advert and currently has over 800 clubs nationwide.
And soon there will be a session in Bakewell.
Every Wednesday, 7-8pm, at the new Lady Manners all weather pitch, the sessions, under the auspices of Derbyshire FA, are being organized by Peak Trinity Church as part of their community outreach. For further details on the sessions (or the church) contact David Moss on 07767 407743 or [email protected]
