In today’s story, written by Mike Winterburn, we explore the journey of Alejandro Lynch and Elisabeth Peters, the dynamic duo making a mark in the Toronto Walking Soccer Club.
The couple that plays together…
When soccer fans talk about a partnership, they usually mean a pair of strikers. In the Toronto Walking Soccer Club (TWSC), the word partnership brings to mind Alejandro Lynch and Elisabeth Peters.
The East End Toronto couple have been regulars in the group since last fall.
Each week new teams are formed, so in some games they are teammates, and in others, they go head-to-head.
“I like playing the same team actually,” said Lynch. “It’s fun to play together.”
Peters saw TWSC members playing while she walked a friend’s dog through a park in Toronto’s Leslieville neighbourhood.
“I had never seen that game before,” she recalled. “It looked familiar, but it was something different.”
Over the course of a quick conversation across the touch line, she learned about walking soccer and decided to come back the next week for a second look.
She was ready to play, and then she took on the challenge of convincing her husband to join with her.
