Walking Football

We're our fantastic women's walking football team, having an absolute blast in the Leicestershire Walking Football League! We came 2nd last season (not bad for a team where some of us had never kicked a ball before!), and this year we're determined to win the whole thing. One of our favourite memories has to be our very first match, played in the most horrendous hailstones you've ever seen - it was absolutely dreadful, but every single one of us came back for more because we were having such a laugh! That's the kind of team spirit we have - once you join us, you'll be hooked!

 

Walking Football is brilliant for women over 50 (and over 35s by exception) who want to get back into football or try it for the first time - it's all about having fun and staying active! The rules are simple: keep one foot on the ground at all times (no running!), we play 6 vs 6 on a smaller pitch, and the ball stays below head height.

 

We play matches on Saturdays once a month at a central venue, and we're looking to start training sessions this season too. Whether you've never played before or it's been years since you last kicked a ball, come along and give it a go - we're a friendly bunch who love a good laugh, and we promise you'll have a brilliant time with us!
