PARINGDON Pirates Football Club is excited to announce the launch of a new women’s only walking football training session, thanks to a generous grant from Active Essex. The grant will help introduce more local women to the sport, creating opportunities for fun, fitness, and friendly competition, regardless of age or experience.
The new training sessions will take place every Thursday evening from 7-8pm at St Albans School in Harlow. Designed for women of all ages and abilities, the sessions cater to everyone—from those who are new to football to seasoned pros. Participants range from their twenties to sixties, with some players even representing the England Women’s Walking Football Team, while others kicked a ball for the very first time when they joined the club…

Walking football is a low-impact sport that offers all the fun and fitness of traditional football but at a slower pace, making it ideal for people looking to stay active while reducing the risk of injury. Whether you’re looking to get fit, have fun, or challenge yourself, Paringdon Pirates welcomes all players. The club currently enters two women’s teams into the over 40’s Essex League, offering a competitive edge for those who want to take it to the next level.
To help newcomers get started, the club is offering a free first session. After that, each session is £4, and with a pay-as-you-go system, participants only pay for the sessions they attend. There are two sessions to choose from, you can do either, both, or mix it up each week to fit your diary:
- Monday 5:00-6:30pm: Mixed men’s and women’s session at Harlow Town Football Club
- Thursday 7:00-8:00pm: Women’s only session at St Albans School, First Avenue, Harlow

Come along and have a go, we’d love to see you there!
