What is Neuro Walking Football?

Welcome to Neuro Walking Football, a unique and inclusive initiative offered by Nottingham Forest Community Trust. Designed specifically for individuals experiencing neurological impairments, from Parkinson’s to recovery post-stroke, our sessions aim to provide both physical activity and social engagement in a supportive environment.

Neuro Walking Football is a modified version of the traditional game of football, tailored to be accessible and enjoyable for those with neurological conditions. The game is played at a walking pace, reducing the risk of injury and making it suitable for all levels of mobility and fitness.

Benefits of Participating:

  • Enhanced Mobility: Gentle on the body, walking football helps improve balance, coordination, and overall physical health.
  • Cognitive Engagement: Engaging in the strategy of the game stimulates cognitive functions, which is beneficial for neurological health.
  • Social Interaction: Connect with others who share similar health experiences in a friendly and inclusive setting.
  • Emotional Well-being: Regular physical activity and social interactions contribute to improved mood and mental health.

 

Our Sessions:

Each session is structured to provide maximum benefit to our participants. The session begins with a warm-up, followed by a fun and engaging game of walking football, and concludes with some cool-down stretches.

Safety is paramount, and our sessions are conducted in a manner that prioritises the well-being of all participants. The Forest Sports Zone provides a safe and accessible venue, complete with all necessary amenities to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience.
