We are delighted to announce 3 FREE taster sessions of our Over 50s Football.

Our Over 50s sessions evolved from our previous Walking Football sessions as participants said they would prefer a more competitive atmosphere. Although everyone is welcome to attend and play the game at their own pace. The session provides a safe and controlled environment for older players to carry on their involvement in football and still enjoy the game they love.

Phillip Coates who attends weekly explains ‘I believe our over 50s football is an excellent way of staying fit and healthy. It truly can change the lives of the older adult – thanks to the slower pace, which you decide and less contact there’s a reduced risk of injury in the process!’ 

Enjoyment of the game is one benefit of taking part in these sessions but maintaining your physical health is another great reason to get involved. Physically active people have a reduced risk of serious disease and premature death, with positive psychological effects another benefit of playing football.

Sessions will take place:

Fridays 1:30pm-3pm @ Hyndburn Leisure Centre (Indoors)

Normal Cost – £5 (free sessions 7th October 14th October & 21st October)

Ergin is a longstanding member of our sessions, initially deciding to give them a go to continue a love of playing football which has continued for over five decades. He certainly hasn’t regretted this decision, explaining: “I’ve been playing football since I was 17 or 18 and just wanted to carry on. All the people who attend are great guys, there is no malicious football here, and we all come to enjoy ourselves. I highly recommend it, come down and play with us even if it’s only for half an hour or watch from the side and have a chat.”
