Fighting Fit Football Parkinson's training

Our football sessions are designed to be fun and relaxed. We adapt our sessions as necessary to suit our players and ensure they are low contact at all times.  Sessions are typically 1 to 1.5 hours and comprise a short warm up, group training, team challenges and small group matches, all at your own pace.
