Introduction to Walking Football
What is Walking Football?
Walking football is a slower-paced non-contact version of the beautiful game, designed to help you stay active without the high-impact risks of traditional football. Perfect for those aged 50 and over, it’s all about teamwork, strategy, some football skill, and socialising.
Benefits of Walking Football
Physical Health: Improve your fitness, balance, and coordination.
Mental Well-being: Enjoy the mental boost from regular physical activity and social interaction, the dressing room banter is as funny as it ever was.
Social Connection: Make new friends and be part of a supportive community.
What our players say
“Having had two knee replacement operations at the age of 60, I thought my footballing days had gone forever. However, having been invited to attend my first walking football game approximately 3 years ago, it has given me, not only a new lease of life back on the football field, but also the return of humour and banter that can only be experienced in the dressing room. I would thoroughly recommend anyone who thinks that their footballing days are behind them to get involved with the walking football community.” – Keith, aged 69.
