The Premier League, european competitions and the FA Cup are all coming to an end for the Summer, but that’s not the case with walking football – we just keep on going!
OK, we know about Euro ’24 and other sports are available, but there’s just something about playing football isn’t there? My point is, walking football doesn’t have an off season – we continue to train and play tournaments right through the Summer, until the next Dorset League starts in September(ish).
Warmer weather
With warmer, dryer weather on the way, perhaps you’d like to join us for a spot of football in a friendly, safety first environment. We train on Friday evenings (7pm) at the home of the Dorset FA – County Ground in Hamworthy.
First session is free
Your first session is free, to see what it’s about, then each session after that is £5. If you fancy coming along, drop Paul a line – he can tell you all you need to know. We regularly have over 20 players attend training on a Friday.
Our recent reviews…
-
Dexters walking football club is a great place to come for anyone wanting to get back into football or continue playing when their 11 aside days are behind … More them. It’s a very well run club with the accent on having fun and the bonus of competitive, competition football if you want it.
We’ve just completed the 2023/24 Dorset Walking Football League, in which we entered a 50s and 60s team. Tournaments aren’t compulsory, but there for anyone who’d like to represent the club. If all you want is to train and make new friends, that’s just fine.
What’s coming up
We have three tournaments lined up for May and June already, including a charity event for Prostate Cancer UK, a friendly tournament in Devon and the Dorset League Cup in early June. We’re also encouraging players along to our Women’s Walking Football sessions with Lilliput FC on Tuesday evenings in Rossmore.
Oh, and we mustn’t forget the end of season get-together!
The physical and mental health benefits of regular exercise are well known. If you’re interested in playing football in a friendly, safety first environment, get in touch with Dexter Sports Walking Football Club now…
