Cheshunt Walking Football Club

We invite you to come along and give walking football a try! We welcome everyone - from ex-players to those who have never played football before. We have sessions suitable for all levels.

Cheshunt Walking Football Club has been formed to help over 50s men and over 40s women get fit and enjoy the beautiful game once more.

We have been providing community-based walking football sessions for over 50s men and over 40s women in the local Hertfordshire area over the last few years. We like to have fun and embrace people of all genders, backgrounds, levels and abilities. We strive to provide a positive football coaching environment for those looking to improve their skills and get healthier, at a pace that suits everyone.  This is also a fun way to meet with other like-minded people, forge new friendships and enjoy the community spirit the club offers.

The club has grown to over 140 members, including over 50 women.

We are actively seeking more members and for social and/or competitive walking football.

Testimonials

Rose Magen

Over 50s Women

Walking football has been amazing for me. I have met so many lovely people and it's become a big and important part of my life. I never thought at my age I would be playing football but I am fitter and love it.

Glenn Swaby

Over 60s Men

Having had a successful career in semi pro football and 15 years in Vets football the ravages of time caught up with me and I was advised by a knee surgeon to stop so much impact work on my knee. I was devastated at the time but was lucky to have had such an extended career. I was introduced to Cheshunt Walking Football where I have been able to rejoin one of my former clubs and enjoy the competitive spirit of leagues and tournament football. It has been wonderful to meet, play and socialise with a great group of friends and players.

Roz Harris

Over 40s Women

I joined Cheshunt WFC in April 2021 lockdown had just ended and I thought I would give it go. I needed an outlet as had been through a difficult time in my life with my wife leaving & lockdown. I had played football before in my youth. After my first session I came away absolutely buzzing, scoring goals again what a feeling but meeting new people and smiling again what an even better feeling.

Cheshunt has given me a sense of belonging being part of a team again as an older woman is incredible and has changed my life, I have made lots of new friends and I’ve even been lucky enough to meet my beautiful partner at the club.

Holly Lovell

Over 50s Women

After I hung my boots up from playing 11-a-side, I never thought I would be back playing the game I loved. I am so grateful to Cheshunt Walking Football Club for some incredible opportunities and experiences. I have visited 4 European countries, representing the club. I have enjoyed every minute of it and have met some wonderful people.

Gail Harvey

Social Member

I joined CWWFC when I was at a low point in my life. For me the WF was an excellent way of getting fit but more importantly the support and camaraderie from the other ladies was outstanding. I have formed many friendships and attended trips away as well as supported the teams in competition. I am now on the committee so can still be involved even when not able to play. I would recommend to anyone.
