Walking football for over 60s

Is anyone out there a member of a walking football club? The sport is growing very quickly. I play and I am over 60 . I played in my youth and have never lost the enthusiasm for the game. Of course you have to be careful but hey my fitness levels have increased and I feel good so what else is needed apart from a large lottery win of course lol.

Good idea. I'm all for physical exercise as it keeps us active and ultimately, alive and healthy. Get in there, Englander!

Re: Walking football for over 60s

What a great game for the over 50s, 60s+

It looks a fun game for the oldies, they get fresh air, exercise and enjoyment from it so it must be good for their health.

Psst..... I'm sure I saw a few of the men break into little runs now and again
