Parkinson’s Walking Football
The Raith Rovers Community Foundation and Pars Foundation have joined together with Parkinson’s UK and Walking Football Scotland to deliver sessions for those on a journey with Parkinson’s.
What does a typical session look like?
- A dynamic warm-up including stretching and movement
- Drills and coaching sessions
- A game of walking football
- A cool down
- A get together with tea and coffee
Based at Stark’s Park and the Pitreavie Sport & Soccer Centre, the Walking Football project provides fun, inclusive and low-impact walking football sessions and social engagement activities for people living with Parkinson’s to improve their social, physical and mental health.
Carers and family members are welcome to stay and enjoy a cup of tea and a chat with others from the programme.
Sessions start Friday 3rd May 1:30pm and are free to attend, with the first session based at Pitreavie Sports & Soccer Centre (astroturf).
