STORY OF THE MATCH | RANGERS (A)
25th November 2024
We are currently recruiting men to take part in our next block of Football Fans In Training due to start Monday 25 February 2013. Football Fans In Training is a unique scheme which offers men who are aged 35-65 and meet any of the following criteria:
* a BMI of 28+
*a belly that is 100cm+
* a trouser waist of size of 38 inches
The course gives the men a chance to join forces with Dundee United FC and the SPL Trust who run the programme helping these men lose weight. In the past three years Dundee United and the SPL Trust have helped the participants lose 110 stone which is the equivalent of 1,552 official SPL footballs.
"The course motivated me to re-engage with exercise and I'm actually enjoying being active again. The coaches and the group are non-judgemental about abilities and it helps you settle and boosts self-esteem." Mike Ramsay 2012 participant
At the FFIT course, everyone is in the same boat. They all want to take the chance to get healthier through the football club that they support. Men who have been on FFIT in the past have really enjoyed themselves - "it is like a night in the pub with your mates but without the drink".
And of course, meeting at Tannadice Park means that there is usually the chance for a bit of banter about football too and a chance to get to see and hear a bit more about your club from the inside!
If you would like to register to participate in the forthcoming Dundee United's Football Fans In Training programme starting Monday 25th February 2013 please email: ffit@dundeeunitedfc.co.uk.
