Whether you’re an experienced player or completely new to the game, these sessions welcome all abilities, letting you play at your own pace and comfort level.
Football isn’t just great for physical fitness – it’s a fantastic boost for mental wellbeing too. Plus, it’s a brilliant opportunity to socialise, make friends, and feel part of a supportive community. And with fresh air and open space, every game feels energising and enjoyable.

So, if you’re ready to try something new, join us at Prairie Sports Village on Mondays and Fridays at 11 am. For more details, contact Wes on 07976 321 491 or email wwinchester@blcgroup.co.uk.
