Chipstead FC is pleased to announce they are developing an Over 50's Walking Football Academy.

The development of such an Academy is believed to be a first.

We have witnessed the growth of youth academies and believe this is ageist! As a Club we believe football should be available to all and are redressing the balance.

The entry qualifications are as follows:
* Over 50 and under 125 * Interested in playing walking football * Sociable * Friendly
* Able to remember the 'When I was younger' stories and exaggerate every time you tell them!
* Buy a round of drinks when it is your turn (we currently have some who don't meet this criteria but they will be addressed)
* Unlike youth academies there is no requirement to learn as it is expected you will already 'Know it all'
*Classroom sessions will be replaced by 'team bonding' in the bar

If you attend you will hopefully achieve the following:

* Improve overall fitness
* Increase cardiovascular output
* Attain better mobility
* Restore your ability to tell stories Did you see me 'walk' down the wing (like the old days)
* Improve joke telling
* Increase drinking capacity (not possible for all players - no names at this stage)
* Take part in matches when competent!
* Possibly take part in an overseas tour.

If none of the above apply you will as a minimum have fun!

We currently hold a session every Monday between 6.30 - 7.30pm but we are looking to add a further session on a Wednesday (possibly late afternoon). The sessions are run by our ex 1st team Sports Therapist so you can't make the excuse 'I have a bad back' or 'I have dodgy knees'.

If you are interested in either session please contact , Stoney on 07827-816819
