Do you guys think its too late for me to play sunday league football even at the lowest level with some team if I am starting football at age 26?
I haven't played football since I was a kid but I am trying to get back into it now and have joined a local sunday league team. But I feel the others are much better than me.
And its not just because I feel that way, I honestly was messing up so many passes in training the other night. If I was the coach I would not even play myself by the way I was playing. Several times when I got passed to I tried to pass it to another teammate and just gave it straight back to the other team. In a match that just means I am a complete liability because it will lead to conceding
Is it possible to improve at football at an older age? Because it seems like all the others in my team have played their entire lives so I have a lot of catching up to do.
One of my mates joined a Sunday league team just to use the training sessions as fitness. Or at least that’s what he said when he never got a game at weekends…
Nothing wrong with joining a squad but not being picked immediately. If you get good enough, they’ll want you on the team sheet. And In the meantime, exercise and nights out. Enjoy!
