Parkinson's Walking Football

Parkinson’s UK, in partnership with Glasgow Sport, have recently completed a pilot project on the impact of walking football on those living with Parkinson’s through specific walking football sessions.
The aim of the program was to determine the suitability of walking football for players with Parkinson’s and subsequently produce a coaching model for use by groups affiliated to Parkinson’s UK and Walking Football Scotland.
The full report on the project findings are available here: Reports on Walking Football/Parkinsons Project
The sessions are now continuing to run weekly at Toryglen Regional Football Centre on Thursdays from 10-12pm and welcome new players to this exciting initiative. For more information contact football@glasgowlife.org.uk
