Battle Axes & Battle Knights

Walking Football has become immensely popular and is now one of the largest growing sports in the country. With two teams, the Battle Axes and the Battle Knights, BTFC provide a range of Walking Football sessions for men and women.

Scroll down the page to read descriptions of both teams.


Battle Knights
In partnership with Battle Town Council, BTFC run Walking Football sessions for men & women aged 50 & over. We aim to keep older members of the community active, enjoying a game of friendly football.

Named the “Battle Knights”, Walking Football is headed up by Battle Town FC’s Director of Football, Gary Walsh.

Daytime Walking Football sessions run on Tuesday and Thursday mornings 10.00 am to 11.00am, followed by social tea and biscuits in the pavilion at the Battle Recreation Ground MUGA (North Trade Road, Battle, TN33 0HB). The sessions are FREE TO ALL, though a voluntary contribution of £2 is suggested.

We also enter a team of Knights the Southern Combination WF League, for players that would also like to compete more seriously. Training sessions take place on Wednesday late afternoon 5-6pm on the 3G pitch at Claverham Sports Centre TN33 0HT. Cost £5

Planning your Visit

Hi there! 

The following information is specifically for those planning a visit, so that you have an idea of what to expect on a Sunday morning.

Where and When

We meet at the Church Building (details here) for our Sunday Gathering, which starts at 10:00am. For your first visit, we recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early to ensure you get to find somewhere to sit before the gathering begins. Unfortunately on-site parking is very limited, and reserved for those with mobility issues. There is a large Council Car-Park very near by on the opposite side of Mount Street.
When you arrive, you should be greeted by someone on our Welcome Team who will be wearing a Welcome lanyard.

Accessibility: There is wheelchair access, and a sound loop for anyone who needs it. Please let one of the Welcome Team know on your arrival and they will help you to get set up. There is a fully accessible toilet in the main foyer.

Our Morning Gathering

The morning gathering begins at 10am.  Then follows a time of sung worship, led by one of our bands. We typically have 1 song, a few family matters or notices, before the children and youth head to age appropriate activities. We then usually 2 or 3 songs lasting approximately 15 minutes. Sometimes a person might pray out loud or read a small passage from the bible. Sometimes people share things that they believe God is saying to the whole church family. This might seem strange the first time you hear it but it’s all part of our connecting with God. One of the ministers or the preaching team will then give a talk that is bible based and that we can apply to our everyday life. We then finish with another song or two. There is also the opportunity to receive prayer at the end of the service.

What about my kids?

Children join us for the beginning of the gathering, as we really value worshipping God all together as a family.  There is a table with a craft or colouring activity for them to enjoy before they head out to their own 'Sunday Club'.  All of our leaders have been DBS checked and trained to at least Level 2 in Safeguarding.  We ask you to accompany your children to Sunday Club and register them as part of our child safety policy.   During Sunday Club, the kids enjoy a range of activities including Bible stories, singing and dancing, games, craft, prayer and free play.

Please pick your children up as soon as the gathering finishes.

For teenagers, we offer separate activities on three Sundays out of every four.

Children

We hope that whoever you are, we hope to see you soon.
