Fakenham RFC

Walking Rugby is a relatively new sport, which follows on the heels of Walking Football and Walking Netball; both of which are proving very popular with the over forties. All three sports are a fun way to add some light-hearted exercise into your weekly routine. Fakenham was the first such team in Norfolk!

This is a game both sexes, all abilities and is suitable for anyone over forty. At Fakenham 48% of participants are Ladies and we have a broad spectrum of ages but over 80% are in the 50 to 70 bracket. Since it is a competitive passing game, it is particularly suitable for ex-Rugby and Netball players, injured and rehabilitating current players and those interested in Rugby but without any experience!

Those past retirement age can still indulge in their passion without the full-on contact – and those wishing to keep up their activity levels can try a new sport. Walking Rugby is a great leveller and players don’t need to be fit – as we can help you with your fitness.

Walking Rugby “kicked off” on the 1st May 2019 and has continued every week since then. Why not come and join us on any Wednesday evening – from 6:50 until 8:00 pm. During the winter months we play under the club’s excellent floodlights.

The members are a very social bunch with regular group functions; including an annual game on the beach followed by Fish and Chips in Wells. All members are invited to the Club’s social events which is a great way to socialise with friends.

The first session is free and thereafter Match Fees are just £4.00 per session.

Players need no specialist equipment, but participants must wear suitable clothing. Sessions take place on the pitch and although no studs/boots are required, trainers are fine as long as they provide good grip as the grass can be slippery some evenings. Sessions only last for an hour.
