Think you’re too old to play football?
Well Werribee Masters Football Club will tell you a different story.
The club has an over 35s women’s side and three men’s sides, two over-35s and an over 50s.
Tigers player Tara Crisp said all the club’s teams were after new players.
She said the club had a really good culture and it was something that they wanted to continue to build.
She said the women’s side had been short on numbers since before the season began.
“Injuries haven’t helped,” she said. “We’re rocking up with 16 players max, so we’re playing short and having no bench.
“Being over-35s and a few ladies in their 50s, playing out a whole game is tough.”
Crisp said some players in the men’s were doubling up in the over-35s and over-50s each fortnight to get a full side.
The teams play every second week, with the women’s and over-35 men’s training on Thursday night at Glen Orden Recreation Reserve.
The over-50s train on Tuesday nights.
Crisp said they were after more permanent numbers but would also welcome players who were happy to fill in when they could.
“We’re a very social club and anyone is welcome,” she said. “Anyone wanting to have a crack is welcome.
“Numbers on board will boost the morale of the club. Whether you’ve played 20 years or two weeks, it’s about playing with mates.”
