Walking Football

A slower version of the beautiful game. Regardless of age, fitness or ability, walking football maybe for you.  The main rules are no running and minimal contact.  Our local football club, Rotherfield United, are very supportive of walking football, including use of their facilities.  They meet every Wednesday at Bishopswood Sports Ground for an hour - a gentle warm up followed by 10 minute games with lots of fun and enjoyment!

For further information about the wide range of health and social benefits that Walking Football offers contact Andy Tidswell, Chairman of Rotherfield United FC, on 07710 875728 or by email andytidswell@gmail.com.
