People living with Parkinson’s in Lincolnshire are being invited to try a new walking football session from Lincoln City Foundation, part of Lincoln City Football Club.
The sessions take place at Lincoln City Foundation, 3G Pitch, LNER Stadium, Lincoln, LN5 8LD, on Mondays, 1-2pm, followed by a time for social interaction and refreshments provided. The cost is £3 per session.
Supported by Parkinson’s UK and the English Football League (EFL) in the Community, the new sessions are designed to be a fun and friendly way for local people living with Parkinson’s or similar neurological conditions to get active.
Experienced coaches are on hand to offer specially designed training drills and matches for people of all ages and abilities with a long-term health condition.
No previous experience of walking football is required, and carers and relatives are also welcome to watch or join in. It is recommended to wear comfortable activewear and footwear for playing football and to bring a bottle of water.
