Hardly Athletic was initially formed as a kickabout football session for over 40’s.
Over the last 6 years we have had more than 100 men involved in playing and more than 60 of those are still playing regularly. However, we do recognise that as many of us have got older, particularly after the age of 50, it takes longer to recover from injuries and some of us are just looking to relax a bit more…
So, having been successful in keeping our over 40’s players active, we now have lots of over 50’s players (20+ at the last count). It therefore made sense to launch a Walking Football team as well.
In September we held our first session and had 16 attendees – which is amazing. A couple of months later and we are about to play our first competitive match and mini-tournament, so it looks like a really positive offering.
