A leisure centre in Amersham has begun hosting football sessions for girls and women.
Located at the Chilterns Lifestyle Centre, the activity will run two weekly events which have been designed for different ages and abilities.
There will be a girls’ drop-in session every week on Tuesdays at 4pm, which is aimed at those aged between 11-15 years.
This will be casual and non-competitive, the sessions will be led by an experienced coach from Chesham United Ladies Football Club.
For adults, a women’s walking football class will be taking place every week on Fridays at 11am, with adapted rules to make the games ‘safer’.
It’s naturally played at a slower pace and is ideal for those who’ve never played before or women above the age of 40 coming back to the game.
Walking football is also included in the facility’s GP referral scheme, and can be a suitable activity for people living with a health condition.
