Ladies sessions are a huge hit!

April 3rd 2025 was the launch date for the ladies only social sessions. The first session saw 15 ladies join together from all different backgrounds and with a vast range of experience – from complete beginners to England walking football players.

Newly appointed IWFF Ladies 50s player/ manager Holly Lovell has devised sessions that are suited to all abilities and levels of fitness, so they have something for everyone.

There were lots of smiles, laughs and we had great feedback from the ladies. The sessions continue to run on Thursdays from 8-9pm.

Five weeks into the sessions and we’ve had 25 ladies who have attended, and we are regularly getting 12-15 each week.

Here are a few of our favourite quotes about the sessions to date:

“We absolutely love it, best thing we’ve done joining.”

“Cannot wait! Me & Denise walked last night, and we are using our bands! 🤣 you’ve changed us! 🥰”

“This ladies walking football group that Holly has started is amazing – the exercise, the ladies, and the laughs we have are the best. I look forward to Thursday evenings more than ever. Thank you.”

“The Watford ladies walking football group is FANTASTIC! We all benefit from Holly’s passion, expertise and knowledge; and no matter what level of football you’re at, there’s something for everyone. Skills and drills, strength and fitness, and a match each week. It’s a great group, with a lovely bunch of ladies, lots of laughs.”

“It’s lovely to see so many ladies joining. When I started there were only a few. There is a lovely atmosphere and great camaraderie. It’s a great way to get your fitness levels up.”
