Leave us your details
One of us will message you within a day with directions and who to look out for. Bring boots, a bottle of water and a sense of humour — that is the full kit list.
Rather just turn up? Do. Saturday 10:30 is the easiest session to walk into, and you are welcome to watch first — plenty of our members did exactly that.
The things people worry about
- I haven't played in years.
- Neither had most of our squad. Plenty of our players had not kicked a ball in three decades before they turned up. Nobody is going to ask you to prove anything.
- I'm not fit enough.
- That is usually why people start. There is no running and no contact — the walking pace is the whole point of the sport, not a concession.
- I don't know anyone.
- Half the club arrived that way, having just moved out here. Most sessions end with a coffee or a cold one somewhere nearby, and that part matters as much as the football.
- I've had a knee, hip or back problem.
- So have a good number of our players. Walking football exists precisely because the running game stops being an option. Have a word with your doctor, then come and have a look.
Saturday, 10:30, Benahavís Sports Ground
No need to tell us first. Come and watch if you would prefer — plenty of our members did exactly that before they played.
