NOTICEBOARD
WALKING FOOTBALL
The Burton u3a Walking Football group are looking for new members from neighbouring groups to join them. The session takes place indoors at the Meadowside Leisure Centre every Thursday between 1 and 2 pm
Walking Football played properly is a non-contact sport with no running, no arguing and minimal physical contact. No experience is necessary as we welcome all abilities.It is great fun, with a chance to applaud other people's abilities and enjoy discovering or rediscovering your own.
Each session includes a gentle warm-up and some simple drills before moving on to playing a friendly game.
If you fancy playing the beautiful game contact the group coordinator,
Chris, by emailing chris_macare@yahoo.co.uk or by text to 07904 321425
