About our cause
The Hawks Walking Football Team is the Havant & Waterlooville FC 50+ Walking Football team, part of Hawks Foundation. It provides three walking football sessions per week for people aged from fifty to over eighty, with an average of about twenty people attending each session. Our sessions are all held on the 3G pitch in the stadium at West Leigh Park. The team also provides playing opportunities in friendly matches against other clubs both locally and more widely around southern England (and even as far away as Brittany), and has a competitive history including reaching the semi-finals of the FA People's Cup in 2016. Not only were we awarded Hampshire FA's Walking Football Team of the Year in 2016, we were awarded it again for 2018! As if that wasn't impressive enough, we were also awarded the National League Trust Best Project for Older People in both 2016 and 2018.
With our players having an average age of 65, we need your help so that we can continue to expand our service! Additionally there are increased costs of such things as pitch hire and with Walking Football becoming a more and more established sport in its own right, qualified referees are adding to the cost of putting on events. Naturally, as we all know, our insurance costs rise each year, along with replacement medical supplies. We also have to pay affiliation fees to such bodies as The FA, the Walking Football Association, and Havant Borough Sports Association. And all of that is without replacing any playing kit or equipment to help us run the festivals and tournaments.
As well as this, we are beginning to find that the cost of travel to away matches is becoming a little prohibitive for some of our pensioner players. We play in National Competitions and although they are regionalised we can still end up being drawn away to teams as far away as Exeter or beyond.
It is an incredible feeling to be able to play football again at our ages, something that most, if not all, of us thought was something consigned to our past. The banter, cameraderie, and social interaction is a fantastic source of support for older people, as well as the mobility and health benefits that exercise brings.
The Hawks Walking Football Team run sessions on Monday and Friday at The Draper Tools Community Stadium (West Leigh Park) from 09.30am - 11.00am, and on Wednesday evenings from 6.00pm to 7.00pm. Each session costs £3 per player, and is open to people of all abilities, genders and ethnicities.
Thank you for supporting us through the Havant Lottery, and good luck!
Yours sincerely
Stew Russell
