We are hoping to form a number of walking football teams at Moss Bank JFC over the coming months. We are registering interest of anyone who wants to play in this increasingly popular aspect of football played at a slower pace. We are looking at starting teams at the Over 50s, Over 60s, Over 65s and Over 70s. We have a league to enter and we just need the players. This will be a 6×6 format. We are also looking at forming a football women’s team for Over 35s 6×6 format to participate initially in friendlies across the North West. We would also like to appoint a walking football coordinator who would oversee the walking football and this role would be fully supported by the club. Its a healthy way of doing something active whilst playing the game we love. Interested? Register your interests by emailing Andy Kearney at andrew.kearney@mossbankjfc.co.uk or text 07702472952. We look forward to hearing from you.

 

Hi all…with the 29th March and return to football not long off I am going to be putting some ball mastery incorporated with some fitness element short videos more aimed for U12s downwards for all abilities to complete. Videos of the kids doing them welcome. Can we get each child to do 20/30 seconds of the task followed by 30 secs rest and repeat this for a total of 3 times. It will be good for the kids to get some level of exercise and ball control in preparation. Sessions will vary every few days. Older age group sessions to follow. Thanks to Jayden from our U10s for demonstrating #ukfootball #soccer #coaching #grassrootsfootball
