It doesn’t feel like that long ago we were out on the pitch and running about: these days we’re watching the Premier League on the telly and reminiscing ... but it doesn’t have to be that way!
It’s football, just easier on the knees...
There’s no denying it, we’re crazy about football. The tension, the excitement, the goals, the glory. It doesn’t feel like that long ago we were out on the pitch and running about: these days we’re watching the Premier League on the telly and reminiscing ... but it doesn’t have to be that way!
Nottingham has a new exciting football session aimed at those who are at the start (or well into) the second half of their life. It’s Over 55s Football!
You’re never too old for a kick about. Recent research demonstrates that older people who play football have stronger muscles, harder bones and a better cardiovascular system; they also seem to be happier because they feel psychologically rewarded, have fun and benefit from a sense of social belonging.
Over 55s Football is part of the FreeSport program launched by Nottingham City Council that allows citizens to try a new sport for free. The Over 55s Football sessions are:
Whether you’ve played your entire life or you have no clue what a football looks like, there’s no need to give up on this fun sport just because your knees are no longer strong enough. These sessions are accessible, relaxed and about having fun - footie fan or no footie fan.
This is a great opportunity for all over 55s to embrace a new activity. See you there!
