A fantastic start, more FREE taster sessions on the way, and exciting plans for the future!
Walking Football has officially kicked off at Leatherhead FC, and we’re delighted with the response to our very first session!
An enthusiastic group of 17 players took to the 3G AstroTurf at River Lane, with another interested spectator coming along to see what it was all about. It was a brilliant start to what we hope will become a thriving new part of the Leatherhead FC community.
The session was all about getting together, meeting new people, learning the basics of Walking Football and, most importantly, enjoying the beautiful game in a friendly, relaxed environment.
Whether you’re looking to get back into football, stay active, meet new friends or simply enjoy a bit of friendly competition, Leatherhead FC Walking Football is the perfect opportunity to get involved.

But first and foremost, our focus is on making Walking Football enjoyable, inclusive and sociable for everyone who takes part.
