We would like to introduce ourselves:
A-TEAM
First Austrian Walking Football Club
We are organized as a non-profit association and are the first independent club in Austria to offer this new sport exclusively.
The club is aimed at all people who enjoy playing football but no longer want to or are no longer able to do so due to health restrictions.
Our aim is to get people from this age group interested in the sport again and to bring former players back to their favorite sport in an age-appropriate way.
Men and women are both equally welcome to join the team. The minimum age limit has been set 45 for women and 55 for men; there are no requirements for the level of training. However, the age limit can also be postponed if, for example, it enables younger people with knee prostheses to take part in sport and thus achieve physical fitness.
It is important to us that people find joy in exercise again and that the newfound body awareness becomes tangible. We want to convey the message that every body can build up muscles, that you can gain stability, strength and coordination as a result and that you will find it easier to cope with everyday life.
An important part is the social component: being embedded in a team, improving together, getting stronger, winning or losing together and enjoying the ‘third half’ together makes the team members proud of themselves and the entire team.
We keep things on a first-name basis’ and value respectful, friendly interaction with one another.
