Chesterfield Senior Spireites F.C. was created through a Football Foundation “Extra Time” grant, that was funded by the English Football League (EFL) Trust and Sport Relief. The club has grown from a few people struggling with three-a-side to over 110 members and some potential new ones trying us out. We are now a stand-alone not-for-profit club with an elected committee to run it. The current club was established in December 2013.

All our playing sessions are limited to new members over 50 years of age.

 

We play every Monday and Friday.  On a Monday the session is at LU Graves, Meadowhead, south Sheffield S8 8JR from 10:30 to 11:30 and on a Frdiay the session is at the Akademy, Callywhite Lane, Dronfield S18 2XR from 10.00 to 11.00. Parking, changing facilities and showers are available at both venues and we get together afterwards for a sociable chat and a drink.

 

We also have an evening session at The  Akademy, Dronfield on Tuesdays from 19:00 to 20:00 which, while aimed at the younger end of our membership, who are still working during the day. The evening playing session on Tuesdays is currently full but we do have a waiting list for new members if they would like to play at this session in the future. 

​

If you are interested in joining us, contact ianed@live.co.uk, or just turn up and check us out. The first session is FREE and then you pay a monthly membership fee of £7.50.

 

Hasland Walking Football Club, formed at the beginning of 2015, originally joined Senior Spireites as a satellite club in September 2015 for administrative reasons but although running as an independent session is now integrated into the club.

​

We play every Thursday from 10:00 to 11:00 on the outdoor Multi-Use Games Area next to the pavilion in Eastwood Park, Hasland. At Hasland it is a tarmac surface which requires care to be taken when playing, to avoid the risk of injury. The playing session at Hasland is currently full but we do have a waiting list for new members if they would like to play at this session in the future.
