Following the success of our recent Over 35s Football Tournament in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire FA is eager to expand opportunities for players aged 35 and over across the county.

We know how important it is to design football experiences that meet the needs and expectations of the players, which is why we want you to help shape the future of this offering.

The tournament provided some valuable insights and feedback, but we recognise it represents only a small sample size compared to the broader over-35s football community. To gain a deeper understanding of what players want, we’ve created a short survey to collect your thoughts and ideas.

This is your chance to influence key aspects of the development process, ensuring that any new initiatives truly reflect the preferences of over-35s players. While specific details - like fixture lengths and small-sided numbers—will be finalised later by the working party, your input will guide the overall direction of this exciting project.

Who Can Complete the Survey?
We encourage responses from:

• Current Male players aged 35 and over.
• Individuals approaching this age group who are interested in playing soon.

Whether you’re a regular player or someone looking to return to the game, your feedback is invaluable.
