ABOUT THIS PROGRAMME

Walking Football at Colchester United Community Foundation is a slower version of the beautiful game that allows people to play football for longer. With no running, jogging or heading and physical contact kept to a minimum, it is a fun and safe way for players to stay in or get back into football, and a great way to get outside, exercise and make friends along the way. The Foundation highlights benefits including a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, strokes and Type 2 diabetes, improved blood pressure and meeting new people. Mixed sessions for players aged 45 and over run on Thursdays from 5pm to 6pm at the JobServe Community Stadium and on Fridays from 12pm to 1pm at Shrub End Community and Sports Centre, with a women's session for players aged 35 and over on Mondays from 6pm to 7pm at the stadium.
