Saturday night marked the grand finale of our very first Fitball Season, and what a journey it’s been! This season wasn’t just about the goals scored on the pitch – it was about the pounds shed, the fitness gained, and the friendships built along the way.
Four brave teams took to the field, determined to change their lives through football, fun, and a fair bit of sweat:
The Teams:- Man Titty, Simply The Reds, Who Ate All Depays & Jalapeno Packers
From week one, the commitment was unreal. Whether it was match days, gym sessions, or just small lifestyle changes, every player bought into the spirit of Fitball.
Hard Work, Big Results & Over 40 players took part this season – together they achieved something incredible:- Total weight lost across the league: over 35 stone (that’s more than 220 kg!)- Average weight loss per player: just under 2 stone each- Fitness, confidence, and team spirit: through the roof.
The change wasn’t just physical – players reported better sleep, improved energy levels, and huge boosts in mental health too.
And the Winners Are…- League Champions: Man Titty – topping the table on points and lifting the trophy in style.- Season’s Biggest Losers (Team): Man Titty again – leading the way both on the scales and the scoreboards.- Most Weight Lost (lbs): Craig Moon, who showed what dedication and consistency can achieve.- Highest % Weight Loss: Steven Mitchell, proving that small steps each day lead to massive results over time.- Players’ Player Award: James McHale, recognised by his fellow players for his effort, attitude, and encouragement throughout the season.
More Than a Game Fitball Season 1 proved that football can be a vehicle for real change. It wasn’t just about winning matches – it was about winning back health, confidence, and community.
With Season 2 already being planned, we can’t wait to see even more transformations, even more success stories, and even more laughs (and maybe a few less pulled hamstrings).
Here’s to more goals, fewer waistlines, and another amazing season ahead!
