Walking Football made its debut on the 18th of January 2016 at St Joseph’s School with the first session held in the old Sports Hall.
Primarily aimed at the over 40’s and designed to use the skills of the game but at a slower pace it really is a great Sport to play.
Having led the first session Sports Development Officer David Wise said “The idea of playing the game at walking pace is strange but it really is a good work out as you need to be passing and moving all the time”. “Tactics play a much larger part and the skill levels remain high as well”.
“In fact, it would be a good idea if children played this way in training as it really encourages players to keep the ball down and play the game properly”. We now train 2 times a week at St Joseph’ on Mondays and Friday sat 5pm to 6pm and have 50 players signed up.
St Joseph’s have 2 teams operating in the Cumberland FA county league. The teams have also won the county cup for the past 6 years, are the current league holders, played in events in Fleetwood, Blackpool and Newcastle and qualified for the 2019 FA People’s Cup regional finals in Manchester where we played against Bolton, Blackpool and Manchester City. We have also qualified for the FA Cup regional finals in Sunderland this year.
Sessions cost £3 each. Anyone wanting to book a place should contact David on 07742547767 or alternatively just turn up! All you need is sporty clothing and trainers.
