I attended the first session and it was brilliant. We are all different ages and sizes but in the "same boat".
Chris, Tom and Jim from XLFC are really encouraging and supporting, as we all want to lose weight, get fitter and play football again! I like that the first hour is all different exercises including yoga and then out on to the 3G pitch to practice and then play a match.
I am really looking forward to the sessions. I highly recommend giving it a go and join the new Bisham Abbey XL FC!

Amazing lads who welcome you straight away to the club no matter how unfit or overweight you are.
The coaches are great in the exercise group, they encourage you to do your best as nobody is the same, they treat you as an individual person but a person who is part of a team.
I would recommend joining to anybody who wants to lose a bit of weight but also has the love for football and wants too meet a great group of friends.

The session gave me a chance to see what this project involves and having the first taster of it, was a great opportunity to be with other people of different ages who are looking to achieving similar goals in their respective areas of life.
To be out on the pitch though was the major challenge I was worried about at first, but with a small group those worries were not there and being able to showcase my ability without being judged was great!

I joined back in 2023 and I’m still loving every single minute out on the pitch with a bunch of great guys.
I never thought I would see myself playing for a football team due to being overweight but here I am with my name on the back of a shirt playing in a league with other like minded people enjoying the beautiful game.
Thank you Reading XL and thank you XLFC!
