Based in St Albans, Hertfordshire, we are a friendly and supportive community team whose aim is to encourage people to play football irrespective of their ability. We offer both 5/7 a-side and walking football. It doesn’t matter whether you play regularly or used to play in the past, are a newbie or just fancy a kick about, everyone is welcome to play.   Although players are likely to be predominantly from the more active and /or younger members of the Parkinson's community there is no age limit and both men and women are welcome.

​

Following his own diagnosis aged 45 Club founder and manager Nick Light has been determined to fight the disease through regular exercise and Fighting Fit Football is his way of helping others to do this.

We are an FA affiliated team and are privileged  to play inside Watford FC's training dome near  junction 22 of the M25.

​

In July 2022 we were delighted to be selected by the FA as their national winner of Grassroots Project of the Year award, in recognition of our work helping the Parkinson's community.

​

We host special football events whenever we can and are privileged to be sending two teams to compete at the Cure Parkinson's Cup, a fully inclusive walking football tournament for people with Parkinson's at St George's Park, home of England's national teams, on 21st April 2024.

The What to Expect section explains our approach and ethos of our training sessions. Typically a session will last 1.5 hours and comprise a short warm up and stretching, training and drills, team challenges and small group matches.

​

Our Club Charter describes our vision, mission and values for our Club and shapes the way we run Fighting Fit Football.

Together we can give Parkinson’s the boot!
