WALTON Park Indoor Football Centre, in Sale, is trying a different pitch when it comes to encouraging people to be more active.

Walking football - played just like ‘real’ football but at a slower pace - is the latest idea to help older people to improve their health and fitness.

The new sport is being offered to older football lovers, as well as those who may have had to stop because of injuries.

Sessions will begin in the first week of March at the not-for-profit sports charity.

If you want to try this out, or just have any questions, then telephone/text Dom McKenzie on 07980 336760 or email on dommckenzie6760@hotmail.co.uk.
