Oldham Athletic Supporters Foundation are delighted to announce a partnership with Oldham Athletic Community Trust, which will see the launch of a brand new mens over 30s just play session.
The just play session will provide a free weekly football session, aimed at men over the aged of 30, with the aim of increasing social interaction & physical wellbeing. Sessions will take place at Broadfield Primary School Goddard Street Oldham OL8 1LH, and will be held 7pm to 8pm on Thursday evenings. The first session will be Thursday 3rd August 2023.
Martin Vose, OACT Head of Community, commented: “I am delighted to be working alongside both the Oldham Athletic Supporters Foundation & Active Through Football to launch this new project.
As a Community Trust we are keen to ensure that engagement opportunities are available for everyone within our local community and this new partnership helps us further ensure that we meet this aim.
We are conscious of the cost of living crisis that we are all currently experiencing and as such we wanted to remove as many barriers for people to participate as possible. I`d like to therefore thank West Oldham Trust for their support of the project, without this we couldn’t offer the opportunity for free.
Mick Harwood, OASF director said; "This is a fantastic example of local community groups supporting each other. Although absolutely open to any over 30's bloke looking to have a kickabout and develop new friendships, Oldham Athletic Supporters Foundation are also looking forward to meeting other fans from our Latics family"
Sessions will be led by an FA Level 2 Coach, but the emphasis will be on having fun and all abilities are more than welcome to join in.
