NEW indoor walking football sessions are set to start in Redditch this January.
Organised by Redditch Borough Council in partnership with Rubicon Leisure the sessions are for residents who want to keep active but don’t want to brave the wintry weather
Redditch Borough Council’s portfolio holder for leisure, Cllr Jo Beecham, said: “The winter weather doesn’t have to come between you and a healthier lifestyle.
“We are committed to getting Redditch active and walking sports are proven to have lots of physical benefits.”
Launching at the Abbey Stadium from January 9, the sessions will be one hour long and held in the sports hall, costing £2 per participant with spectators welcome.
Across the borough, sessions now include a women’s walking football at 9:15 am followed by walking football at 10:30 am every Monday at Abbey Stadium Sports Hall.
An evening session of walking football is held at 8 pm every Monday at Arrow Vale 3G pitch.
