Soccer Grannies: The South African Women Who Inspire the World tells the story of a team of 40 to 80-year-old women in rural South Africa who defy social convention to play soccer for the companionship and the health benefits it provides. Their strength and resiliency help them face life’s challenges with dignity, humor, and hope. They teach the rest of us that age, gender, and expectations cannot define an athlete.

For October we are fortunate to have Jean Duffy join us to discuss her book, Soccer Grannies: The South African Women Who Inspire the World. Copies of the book will be available for pick up at Fowler, and the eBook can be downloaded from Libby.
