Walking Football established at Thatcham Tornadoes in October 2017.
Fridays on the astro at St Bartholomews School, Newbury 8-9pm
£3 per session
New players very welcome to come along and join us. At the moment, it is Friday night training only, but watch this space … we may well be entering a team into the FA People’s Cup in 2022!!
Walking football is becoming increasingly popular across the country and is designed to help people keep an active lifestyle, as well as encouraging people back into football who have stopped due to age or injury. We are aiming these sessions for players aged 50-ish and older.
There’s no running on or off the ball, very little contact and kick-ins instead of throw-ins. There is less stress on the body and no real sudden change of direction to put undue stresses on the body.
