Wellbeing

At Musselburgh Windsor, we recognise the health and wellbeing benefits that football brings. Whether it be to kids playing in our Wee Windsors section, those playing in our 11 a-side teams, or participating in our walking football, football helps keep us both physically and mentally fit.

Played by over 250 million people in over 200 countries around the world, football is the most popular sport on the planet. Participating help you reach your recommended amount of aerobic activity and brings benefits including reducing your risk of certain chronic illnesses such as heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes.

The combination of aerobic activities and strengthening exercises such as running, walking, sprinting, and kicking, help increase stamina, improve cardiovascular health, reduce body fat, improve muscle strength and tone, increase bone strength and improved coordination. It also helps improve mental health and can lead to increased confidence and self-esteem, as well as helping to reduce anxiety.

Training

Most age groups at Musselburgh Windsor train at least twice a week. Sessions are designed to be fun and enjoyable. Details of training and match days are found on our individual age group/team pages.
