Walking Football is open to all ages, abilities and genders and is a non-contact sport . The venue @ Sant Antoni de Calonge is an outdoor 5G astro turf pitch and generally we have enough people for at least 5 side ( although much smaller sided games are possible) . The pitch size is adjusted to suit the amount of players . Players need a suitable training shoe with grip ( I recommend an astroturf training shoe) but shin pads are not necessary and please bring a water bottle. Any training shoe can be used but Football boots ( if you still have some !) with molded studs can be used ( no blades) . We play one game with a halftime drinks break between and a 10 minute warm up to start and 10 minutes to cool down.
Guests are more than welcome even if you have never kicked a football before it’s a very easy and highly enjoyable introduction to Football.
See you Tuesday
