Walking Football

[DeeCee]

Strictly not ICBINF but has anyone played it? 

I had my first session last night, pulled a calf muscle lol but thoroughly enjoyed it.

6 a side with guys from 50+ to late 60s.       

          Been toying with going for a few months, saw 10 minutes on YouTube and that was my only experience till yesterday.  Haven't kicked a competitive ball for about 10 years (I'm almost 65) and by fuck was I rusty. 

And the ball seems heavier 🙄😂

I played pre-Covid at my local Sports Centre until I broke my ankle and ended up on crutches for 6 weeks. It was very embarrassing telling people I had done it playing walking football. I just stick to my non-contact interests like fishing, table tennis and paddle boarding now.

Get down to Ewood if you want to see walking football at it’s finest.

I was never blessed with pace as @arbitro will confirm, so walking football came naturally to me and there is a particular skill to it,  eg the timing/weighting of passing etc is quite different. But anyone with football intelligence should be pretty good at it.

In my area it is REALLY competitive, to say the least!

Andy, you were the only player I ever came across who put weight on DURING a game.

Ouch!

Were there any players who were fatter each time you reffed them?
