Walking football has new venue in Surfleet

Walking football sessions in Spalding have proved so popular they have expanded to the astro turf in Surfleet.

Give It Some Fizz Fitness, Sports and Education, started the sessions at the beginning of this year and they have grown quickly - with seven-a-side games now being played.

The sessions are open to both men and women of all ages from 18 and above.

They are held at Monks House Park in Spalding on Thursday mornings from 9.30am-10.30am and now at Surfleet's Glen Park on Monday evenings from 5.45pm to 6.45pm.

Coach Holly Barrett said: "I'm so pleased with how popular the sessions are proving and we wanted to continue right through the winter.

"So we've booked the astro turf at Glen Park for our evening sessions and will have the use of the floodlights as the evenings become darker.

"It's quite different playing on the astro turf and brings a new feel to the game."

Walking football was originally created by Chesterfield FC Community Trust in 2011.

It was devised as a way to help older players and people with injuries stay active.
