[QUOTE="retired9, post: 1142367, member: 79608"] Everyone has posted good advice, the best thing to do is turn up at the club and ask/try it, you won't need much kit other than boots and a mouthguard which are pretty readily available for minimal money. I am in week 3 of going to training at my local club after 18 years out of the game, I love the team camaraderie and learning the skills is great fun as well as a good workout. At 34 with a young family I am not going to play in matches, but its a great social activity and good for making new friends. Most of our training is touch or scrag apart from specific training matches or drills - its the simplest way to learn the skills and structures while minimising injury for the matchday lads. Tackling and contact will come with practise. It's great that your BF plays, if you haven't already done so then start passing and kicking a ball about - it's not as scary as it might sound! Let us know how you get on, it's a brilliant game. [/QUOTE]
