Time to Shine funded ‘Your Back Yard’ in September 2019 to run weekly walking football sessions for a year, in partnership with Bramley Elderly Action.
We’re happy to say that a year later we and we are still up and running (or you might say walking!). Despite having to pause our football sessions throughout lockdown, we were able to meet most of the team fortnightly on zoom for a catch up, the odd quiz, and to discuss logos and team colours for the ‘Bramley Walking Wanderers’ new matching kit which ‘Your Back Yard’ will be sponsoring.
When: Fridays, 10am
Location: Bramley Park
Cost: Completely free!
What is walking football? Walking football is an adapted version of football, designed to be inclusive and accessible to people aged over 50, whilst still being just as fun as the beautiful game! There is no running allowed, and some other rules prevent the ball from going too high, and anyone from getting injured.
Who can get involved? Anyone aged over 50 living in the Bramley area. You don’t have to be a member of Bramley Elderly Action, and the sessions are open to all genders and physical abilities. If you have concerns about whether or not you will be physically able to take part, please get in contact with Your Back Yard using the details below, so that we can send you a Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire.
How can I get involved? If you’re interested in coming along, please either contact Bramley Elderly Action, or Your Back Yard.
