From Rejection to Celebration -Player’s Story – Magi Hamilton

Why I would encourage you to try Walking Football

I had stopped playing and coaching and I thought that was the end of football for me, especially with 2 old, dodgy knees but then along came Walking Football at Giffnock SC!

I was back on the pitch, rolling back the years with women, some that I had played with in teams, back in the day!

It’s brilliant! It encouraged me to get my knees fixed! I’m bionic now and back playing at a good level with like minded players and making new friends along the way.

About

The main objectives of the event are.

to raise funds for our nominated charities on the day, through fees to participate, some football related challenges and donations in the lead up to and during the day

to enable our partners to discuss their own services to those watching and participating throughout the day and identify specific resources they have available that could contribute to improving the health and wellbeing of those attending or others they care for

to reduce the long-term burden on the NHS by enabling people to improve their own health and wellbeing

to raise awareness of the benefits of walking football to people in the target audience groups. i.e. attract new people to come along, for them to participate for an hour or so, and hopefully be encouraged to attend walking football sessions at times and locations that suit them best.
