“Socially I’ve met good people who either love the sport and have played competitively in the past or, who enjoy fitness and a community connection. First timers learn from the better players. We have a lot of laughs and look forward to our weekly games. I can do an extra 3000 steps in an otherwise sedentary day!”
– Judith Handel, NWSF Walking Football Player
“My first ever game of football at 62 years old.Just love the format and social side of playing with and against great people. LOVE IT!!”
– Greg Buck, 62- Brisbane Walking Football Player
“Had my first game on Sunday. Great friendly people. It may be called Walking Football, but you have to try it a total workout. Great for aerobics and balance.”
– Geoff Steadman, 70, Brisbane Walking Football Player
“After years of not being playing, its just marvellous being involved and keeping active. What a great idea!”
– Gordon Wilson, 67, Brisbane Walking Football Player
“My football career came to end with knee trouble and an eventual knee replacement. Walking Football has given me the opportunity to continue playing in my 60's and hopefully later. I have met new friends, encouraged others to join and improved my health and well being. We play mixed and I enjoy encouraging and helping others improve their game. It can cater for all abilities and gives the opportunity to hang out together after the game.”
– Gordon Bromhead, NWSF Walking Football Player
