On Mondays from 4pm to 5pm, you will find the Active Hastings team at the Alexandra Park MUGA, for their Wildcats session. So, if you are looking for a fun way for girls aged 5 to 11 to get involved with football, then look no further! Wildcats is a non-competitive football session for girls who want to give football a go or want to play with other girls their own age. Most importantly, Wildcats is all about having loads of fun and making new friends. For training details and to book visit: eequ.org/experience/2491

Walking football is a great way to keep fit and rediscover your competitive side and love of football. The session takes place every Monday, 6pm to 7.30pm, £3 per session, or pay what you can, with free tickets available. For more information and to book your place visit: eequ.org/experience/6144
