What to Expect
You do not need to book but it’s advised to confirm you attendance by contacting Matt. He will be happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have about attending.
Sessions have been funded through Care Network’s “Healthy Fenland” project which has enabled the Club to purchase items of kit such as football boots, so no need to worry if you don’t own any, these can be loaned during the session.
Once kitted out you will have a quick warm up and the rules will be explained for anyone new to walking football. The group usually plays for about an hour, but you can sit out at any point.
