Yes, have 8-12 women attending weekly. Team entered local women's walking football league. Recently had visits from three local women's grassroots clubs looking to set up walking football sections. 

Great to hear Len - what advice have you been passing on to those clubs?

A mixture of advice on organising and promoting sessions, for example on the time of sessions, outdoor or indoor locations, ease of travel to location. Importance of social media/web presence. Sharing our experience of numbers going up and down quite wildly at an early stage and can fluctuate even now when there are are holiday periods. 

Logistics of sessions. A lot of discussion on 'what is walking/not walking', importance of coach/ref managing this in a session. Same applies to contact although that is a little easier to explain. Running sessions with very different ability ranges, for example allowing very inexperienced players time on the ball and seeking balance between skills work and having a kick around. 

Goalkeepers- we rarely have a goalkeeper, the coaches need a few non-goalkeeper games in their portfolio. If you have a keeper doing work on distribution with other team members on breaking the press.

Finally the importance of listening to  the new players, what do they want from  a session etc. One of our lessons that we pass on is; refs/coaches pulling up running but also explaining what is allowed in terms of quick movement. 

I have probably missed some other issues.
