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 120 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 from 11:00 to 12:00 at the Akademy, Callywhite Lane, Dronfield S18 2XR where there are three 3G Astroturf pitches available. Parking, changing facilities and showers are available and we get together afterwards for a sociable chat and a drink.

 

We also have an evening session at the same venue 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 (currently a limited number of places are available) 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.
