What would you say to someone who was thinking of taking up walking football? What does it mean to you? I know we have a fab group who already play, what would you say to encourage more ladies to join us? What do you get from playing?
What advice would you give to a woman who is thinking about trying walking football but feels anxious about going along for the first time?
Maybe she has never played 11-a-side football, is worried about her fitness, thinks she might be too old, doesn't feel she's good enough, feels nervous about meeting new people, or is returning to sport after an injury or illness.
Those first few sessions can be daunting. What would you tell a woman who is feeling nervous about going to training?
WF4W is collecting your answers for a future article, so please share your experience and encouragement in the comments — your words could help another woman take that first step ⚽
