What to Expect During the Sessions:

Walking Football is a small-sided, low-impact version of the game that’s easy on the joints while still offering a great cardiovascular workout. Matches are played on smaller pitches with modified formats (5v5 or 6v6), and the focus is on having fun while staying active. Game times are shorter, and the rules are modified to make it easier for everyone to join in:

- No running: Players must always have one foot on the ground.

- Non-contact: The game is non-contact, so no tackling or body checks.

- Ball restrictions: The ball can’t be kicked above hip-height, and heading is not allowed.

This program is perfect for anyone looking to enjoy the benefits of regular physical activity in a social and supportive environment. It’s a great way to stay active, improve your fitness, and reduce stress, all while making new connections in your community.
