Whixley Wanderers Walking Football Club was formed at the beginning of 2023 and is now an affiliated member of the English FA whose competitive team plays in Division 1 of the North Riding FA Walking Football League.
Our Sunday “Social” playing sessions continue, however, to be the Club’s primary focus. Our Constitution states that these are “open to all Club Members with the aim of bringing local people together, creating a safe environment in which older players (over 40) who may have previously given up playing due to age, fitness or health can re-engage with the game they love, thus promoting physical and mental wellbeing in the community.”
So, as proud as we are of our progress competitively, we are prouder still of the fact that we now have a burgeoning and diverse spread of members ranging in age from their 40’s to their mid-70’s who all benefit from the physical activity and camaraderie that they enjoy with us on a regular basis.
That’s more valuable than any silver cup or medal could ever be.
If interested in joining Yorkshire’s friendliest walking football club please don’t hesitate to get in touch by emailing nick@whixleywanderers.com for further information.
