Women’s Walking Football with Stones in the Community

Get into football and benefit from physical and mental fitness and make some new friends to boot!

Walking football is a growing sport for both men and women. It offers a multitude of health benefits to older people such as reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke while improving blood pressure, resting heart rate and lowered cholesterol – all indicators of general good health.

Thanks to funding from Involve Kent, we are able to provide a pilot programme to introduce women, in and around Maidstone to Walking football. A more gentle but no less competitive form of the game.

We hope that this programme will be successful and be the foundation leading to the growth of a permanent women’s walking football programme within SITC.

International Women’s Day is on Sat 8 March and Kent FA are holding a Women’s Walking Football festival. Our hope is that we may be able to enter a team into this festival from this programme.
