Walking Football - 
The slower version of the beautiful game

​

Walking football has become increasingly popular. It’s exactly what it sounds like – a standard game of football where players walk instead of run. It's designed to help people 50 years of age or older get fit or maintain an active lifestyle, as well as support people getting back into football if they have given it up due to injury. 

The key principles are:  no running, low contact and no over head-height kicks.

 

Get fit & stay active
Walking football is a great way to stay mobile and agile as you grow older. Fast track your way to a happier and healthier life with regular activity and feel energised to do more of what you love.

 

Meet new people
Nobody is immune to loneliness, whatever their age. Freshen up your social circle with an excuse to get out and meet new people. Rekindle old friendships and thrive in the camaraderie of team sport.

 

A path to recovery
Returning to exercise after illness or injury can be hard. Walking football is the ideal rehabilitation for those recovering from physical or mental health concerns. It’s free of prejudice and full of encouragement.

 

Relax and have fun
With walking football it really is the taking part that counts. Challenge yourself in low pressure, highly rewarding environments where enjoyment is the ultimate goal for all involved.
