Walking Football is a small-sided football ball game which first began in 2011. Although similar in some respects to 5-a side football, the emphasis is on not running, and playing at a slower pace. It is open to men over 50, and women over 40. If you are interested in becoming involved, any of the clubs listed below would love to hear from you. Do not be concerned about your skills or ability! If you have played football previously, and would like to play again, you will enjoy this football with a twist; and if you haven’t played before, no problem. Walking Football promotes Fun, Fitness and Friendship.
