Walking Football
Details
Proudly sponsored by Powder Monkey Brewing Co Walking football is a slower-paced version of the beautiful game we all love to play and watch, designed to make football accessible to everyone, regardless of age or fitness level. Whether you’re a seasoned player or new to the sport, walking football offers a fantastic opportunity to stay active and enjoy the camaraderie of team play, all without the intensity of a full-speed match.
The game is small-sided, with no running (on or off the ball), very little contact and kick-ins instead of throw-ins. With less stress on the body and no real sudden change of direction or movements, the game allows the participants to play without apprehension.
Older people in particular have seen many benefits, including lower heart rate and blood pressure, less fat, more muscle and more mobility.
As well as offering health benefits, Walking Football offers social benefits – the opportunity for participants to meet new people, prevent isolation and create interaction for individuals and small groups.
