During the Women's Euros I registered my interest in getting involved in women's football via an advert on Facebook. A chap called to explain he was part of an organisation who were encouraging more interest/participation in women's football and would I be interested. I explained that I haven't played football since I was 10 but have been inspired by recent events to give it a go and would be happy to play for fun with other like minded people.
Fast forward to today and he's sent me a message saying he's generated enough interest to form a team and would I be available to play in a game tomorrow night. (The field is literally next to my house!) If it goes well then he'd like to set up an actual team.
I'm 40 but fairly fit (I run and strength train) but obviously I'll be no match for 20 year olds! I have no idea who else will be on the team. I thought we'd have a bit of training first before playing a game. I don't even know if I can play... is this completely mad? I've never played team sports before (apart from netball at school).
Has anyone experience of adult amateur football?
YANBU - give it a go
YABU - you will either embarrass or injure yourself not to memtion let down an entire team of genuine football enthusiasts
