Harrogate Town invites over 50s to join walking football team
Harrogate Town is inviting people to join their walking football team to help boost physical and mental health.
Walking football is a twist on traditional football that is played by people who have mobility or other issues.
It's generally played by the over 50s although the majority of players with Harrogate Town are in their 60’s, with some even in their 70’s.
The club has a 50’s team and a 60’s team who both play competitively in the Northern Premier League and they also play friendlies with clubs throughout Yorkshire and the North East, both home and away.
