Walking Football
#LovetheGame
It is by no coincidence that Walking Football has grown in popularity and that participation numbers are increasing within the county. The game was introduced and recommended for players 50 years and above to play the game on a level playing field.
Getting fit and healthy is the main benefit, but the social side of the game is what keeps people coming back time and time again. Whether you are rolling back the years, learning a new sport, trying to keep fit or simply want to get out during the week, Walking Football is your answer.
Rules vary slightly between different locations and sessions according to the participants.
