OVER 60s in Woodley are being encouraged to give walking football a go.
Cornelius O’Kane, club secretary at Woodley Pensioners FC, said fun is the key goal.
“We welcome all ages, sexes and abilities and it does not involve any formal training,” he said.
The club gives two free taster sessions to new members, with sessions costing £3 each afterwards.
This includes a free tea or coffee after.
He added: “Woodley Pensioners FC is an FA-affiliated non-profit club set up specifically to provide walking football for the oldies in a safe and secure environment.”
Sessions run at 11am on Mondays and Fridays on the new 3G sports pitch at Cantley Park.
From December to February, sessions are held indoors in the Main Hall in Loddon Valley Leisure Centre.
Mr O’Kane said all sessions are drop-in and are supervised by experienced members trained in First Aid and defibrillator usage.
The club charges an annual membership fee of £5 per year.
