WALKING FOOTBALL

Walking Football is a slow-paced version of the beautiful game, if you thought your footballing days were over, then think again.

It was designed to help people keep an active lifestyle irrespective of their age, as well as getting people back playing who perhaps had to stop due to injuries. It’s a great way to keep fit, learn new skills, have fun and socialise all at the same time.

At Keynsham Town the popularity of our Walking Football section continues to grow as it offer an inclusive and friendly environment for our members which caters for both men and ladies. We offer a number of sessions throughout the week and also participate in leagues and tournaments throughout the season. Our members also benefit from concession prices on our men’s senior season tickets, getting the opportunity to enjoy the match day experience and support the K’s. You also get to play on the first team pitch and take advantage of our first class facilities.

Check out some useful warm up guides provided by Walking Footballer and ex Bristol City player Chris Hooper.

• Tuesday 10:00am Over 65s
• Friday 10:00am Over 50s

• Turn up at 9.30 am to book in and to be ready changed on the pitch for the warm-up at 9.45 am.

We operate a Turn Up and Play policy. If you are new to walking football you are welcome to come along and watch or just have a chat. As we use a 3G pitch football boots are essential, no flat-soled shoes or Astro turf trainers. We have several pairs of boots, so you can try it out before buying your own. You will also need shin pads.

On Fridays, one game is played at a slower pace for beginners, those returning from injury and those who are less fit. There is also a Thursday evening session, but as this is played in the courts, it has to be pre-booked. Please contact keynshamtownwf@gmail.com for details.

All sessions last for an hour or so and we meet afterwards for a hot drink and a chat.

But its not just about the football, our Walking Football section also supports the local community and charities so its a great opportunity to get involved, keep yourself active and feel part of the community. They also provide valuable support in providing match day hospitality at First Team home fixtures, and are an integral part of the football club.
