Walking Football Comes To Mayo

 A new and exciting form of physical activity that is good for your heart health is to be brought to Mayo by Croí in association with the Football Association of Ireland (FAI) and Mayo Sports Partnership.

Walking football, as the name implies, is just that a slower version of soccer with bans on running and tackles.

Walking football is an initative that engages people in a fun and motivating manner to facilitate increasing physical activity levels.  Its an non contact form of exercise, played indoors and supervised by specialist personnel to ensure that it is safe and enjoyable for all abilities.

There will be a FREE Walking Football demonstration on Wednesday March 9th from 6.30pm in Davitt College Sports Hall, Castlebar.

All are welcome but booking is necessary for this demonstration night.

To book your place, please contact Mayo Sports Partnership at 094-9047025.
