Walking football is a growing sport for both men and women. It offers a multitude of health benefits to older people such as reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke while improving blood pressure, resting heart rate and lowered cholesterol – all indicators of general good health.
Thanks to funding from Involve Kent, we are able to provide a pilot programme to introduce women, in and around Maidstone to Walking football. A more gentle but no less competitive form of the game.
We hope that this programme will be successful and be the foundation leading to the growth of a permanent women’s walking football programme within SITC.
International Women’s Day is on Sat 8 March and Kent FA are holding a Women’s Walking Football festival. Our hope is that we may be able to enter a team into this festival from this programme.
This programme is free to attend with session taking place every Friday, 19:00 – 20:00 from 17 Jan – 28 Mar 2025. There is plenty of free parking available.
