Free walking football taster sessions in Armley!

We are running 6 walking sports sessions this summer in partnership with Barca Leeds, starting with walking football on 2nd July at the James Mckenna community hub.

More details are on the attached flyer; it is for all ages and abilities but probably better suited to those who like to play the beautiful game at a more leisurely pace!

Just bring your trainers and a smile, not least as it’s a free session and the sun is bound to be shining!
