OVER 50'S & 65'S - WALKING FOOTBALL
Walking Football is a slower-paced version of the beautiful game, designed to help people stay active, improve fitness, and enjoy the social side of sport — all without the need to run!
Ideal for those aged 50 and over, these sessions are perfect for anyone looking to return to football in a safe, supportive, and fun environment. Whether you're a former player or completely new to the game, all abilities are welcome.
The rules are adapted to reduce the risk of injury — no running or slide tackles — but the spirit of the game remains. It’s a fantastic way to stay fit, meet new people, and rediscover your love for football.
