Summary

Represent your company or community organisation and FC Equalise in Community Football Trust tournaments to champion mental health! Suitable for ALL ABILITIES.

Detailed description

Make a difference and have fun at the same time! Great for employee volunteers!

 

Would your group like to take part in a non-competitive, 5-a-side walking football tournament for adults aged 18+ on an ad-hoc basis? Tournaments are once per month at a variety of Midlands venues. They start around midday and last 2 hours maximum.

 

The tournaments are part of The Mental Health League, run by the Birmingham County Football Association, and covered by public liability insurance.

 

 

The tournaments are hosted by some of the top Community Football Trusts and Foundations in The Midlands!

Sky Blues in the Community, Aston Villa FC Foundation, Baggies Foundation, Walsall FC Foundation, Alvechurch FC Foundation, and Wolves FC Foundation are among them.

 

These Foundations host a tournament every year and the players who are predominantly 25-50, male, are very welcoming, and it is thoroughly enjoyable.

 

Your role as a group is to represent your organisation and FC Equalise in the tournament, playing 6 x 10 minute walking games on a small pitch (1/8 full size).

The emphasis is on getting outdoors and sharing a healthy experience, shaking hands with the opposition and going home feeling good.

 

This is a team-work, communication, light exercise opportunity that would suit any group who are able to organise themselves on and off the pitch. You will have the support of the Mental Health Team Manager who will be your contact on the day.

 

To take part, you will need:

·      A team of 5 players

·      Outdoor footwear for 3G/4G pitches (moulded studs or trainers)

·      Shin pads, socks, and shorts.

·      Your goalkeeper will need gloves.

·      Transportation to the tournament location

 

 

We will provide the teams shirts on the day, to be returned afterwards please.
