Social Footy kicks off again at City of Liverpool FC
HAVING been out of action for several months, City of Liverpool FC in the Community resumed their Social Footy sessions this week, aiming to get people back together in a safe environment following lockdown.
Social Footy is a relaxed, slower-paced, light-hearted kick-about geared towards bringing the community together through football regardless of age or ability, echoing the message of inclusion that runs through the club.
The most recent sessions have been held at the PurpleHub, using the facilities provided at the King George V Sports Complex in Huyton, which was recently taken over by the club to provide sport and activities for the wider community. Social Footy is a perfect fit.
