Discover Walking Football

Walking football is a unique and inclusive version of the sport designed for adults who want to keep active, regardless of age or fitness level. Whether you’re looking to get back into football, stay fit, or simply meet new people, walking football offers a friendly and supportive environment.

What is Walking Football?

Walking football follows traditional football rules, with a few key differences: no running or contact allowed. This reduces the risk of injury and makes the game accessible to everyone, especially those who may find the standard version too strenuous or physical. The emphasis is on fun, skill, and social interaction.

Who Can Play?

• Men and women of all ages, typically aimed at men over 50 and women over 40
• All skill levels welcome – from complete beginners to seasoned players
• Anyone looking to improve fitness or enjoy a more relaxed pace of football

Why Try Walking Football?

• Stay Active: Walking football helps maintain physical activity, which is vital for health and wellbeing.
• Meet New Friends: The game fosters a strong sense of community and camaraderie.
• Low Risk: With no running or physical tackles, it’s a safer way to enjoy football and reduce the chance of injuries.
• Boost Confidence: Reacquaint yourself with football or try it for the first time in a welcoming atmosphere.
