Senior Activities

Evergreens

The programme of older adult activities at the centre is led by the Sutton 'Evergreens' - a friendly community sports and social club run by its members for the over 50s.

Our Evergreens Club sessions at Sutton Sports Village enable those aged 50+ to keep active and stay healthy at affordable prices as well as socialise with like-minded people in the area. It’s well documented that keeping fit as you get older can extend life expectancy, but other benefits can include reducing the risk of heart disease, stroke, type-2 diabetes, depression and dementia, so why not come down and join in.

Sessions run Monday to Friday between 9am and 12pm (times may vary) and they range from tennis, badminton and table tennis to walking football, aerolatino, dominoes and much more. 

See our timetable below for the current list of sessions and prices:

Walking Cricket

Once a week the centre runs a Walking Cricket session for those aged 50+. Walking Cricket is the sport you love, just played at a slower pace – so it’s perfect for people who are older, or less physically able, but who still want to enjoy the thrill of the game. Everything is walking, including the ‘runs’ and fielding. A soft ball is also used. The game allows every participant to move around and have a go as well as score and umpire, providing both mental and physical activity. Whether you’re batting, bowling, or fielding, it’s a great form of cardio exercise. Plus it improves both agility and hand-eye coordination. 

If you have a centre membership then the sessions are available at no extra cost. For those without a membership or who just want to try it out, sessions are bookable online via the Better UK app or by following the link below. Just select 'Adult Group Sessions' and then 'Walking Football' to book your next kickabout.
