As Walking Football continues to grow, there is a need to bring together passionate and committed volunteers to drive consistency in how the game is organised and played.

The FA has created an initiative called TeamWalk and in particular TeamWalk Local, which represents the game locally.

Here in Oxfordshire, the County FA has assisted with the creation of TeamWalk Oxfordshire.

TeamWalk Oxfordshire is currently made up of the following:-

• John Munro

• Pete Foley

• Pete Cannon - Referees Representative

• Bruce Sayers

• Mark Pritchard - Parkinsons Representative

• Tony Norris

• Alix Todd - OFA

but we are now reaching out to all Walking Footballers in Oxfordshire to see whether there are others with like-minded passion and commitment who might be interested in joining the group. We want the group to represent all facets of Walking Football and would specifically like to add someone that can represent the women players and teams in Oxfordshire.

TeamWalk Oxfordshire’s Terms of Reference are:-

Mission

Inspiring positive change through football by uniting communities, tackling inequalities and improving the health of the nation.
