In fact, he had so much fun playing in the inaugural year of the Over 45s, that he is inviting other men to register to play and enjoy the benefits even though he’s already had a few registrations rolling in.
He said there was nothing like playing soccer to keep you fit, healthy and happy.
“I’ve had friends say they wouldn’t be able to last 90 minutes running around on the soccer field however we don’t play like that but instead, most come and play in 10-minute intervals which they say is the best thing to keep your heart strong,” he said.
“Soccer is a non-contact sport so it’s not dangerous and won’t take long to pick up the basics even if you’ve never played before.
“You will be amazed at how quickly your fitness improves and you’ll soon be able to kick the ball around the yard with the kids like a pro.”
Joseph said they started small with only the minimum number of players last year but by the end of the season, numbers had doubled: “We all just got so much out of it and word spread.”
