TheBigO Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Hi, Have any of my fellow over fifties posters heard any more about the walking football? My Dad has a medal my Grandad won during the war playing walking football in the army! Remember always thinking it was a quite a weird thing to do when I was a bairn. Get it for disabled football etc, but perfectly fit guys doing it was pretty common back then apparently! Of course that's always how I played football too, but then I walk faster than those who run without thinking. Obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tharig Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Yes yes i am signed up for it. Got and email from Alan with the details. Good Afternoon, We are still receiving applications for our 50+ Walking Football programme which is set to start at 12.00pm on Tuesday 11th August. I will write out a week before with final details and arrival information but listed below is some info that will help your planning and expectations for the sessions. ? Football activity will take place on the grass football pitch behind the Wheatfield Stand from 12.00-1.00pm each week for an initial 6-weeks. ? From 1.00-1.40pm (approx.) we will have soup and a roll plus a cup of tea organised in one of the suites so you can relax after the sessions. ? We have so far 30-40 age 50+ players booked up so far. ? As the surface is grass, we would recommend you organise footwear with appropriate grip so we can play whether the pitch is dry or damp. Moulded boots are recommended. ? Games are expected to be in 4v4 or 5v5 format ? essentially back to the days of street football but at walking pace. ? Players will be all different shapes, sizes, age and ability and we will adapt team where necessary so everyone players at a comfortable level ? There is no cost to participate and we hope to secure funding for a further 6-weeks as well. Yours in sport Alan Alan White Heart of Midlothian Football Club Tynecastle Stadium Gorgie Road Edinburgh EH11 2NL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
