Walking Football

Fun and exercise. This very friendly group has male and female members from 60 to 90. It doesn’t matter if you are not David Beckham or Lucy Bronze and haven’t dribbled a ball in years, if at all!
Everybody is welcome.

Walking Football is at a more gentle pace, but it’s good exercise, very social and guaranteed to make you smile.

· We meet on the first and third Thursdays in the month for an hour’s play.

· We use a sports hall with 5-a-side goals

· We pick the teams on the day, depending on the number of people attending

· We do not have people playing for the full hour, but play for 15 minutes or so and then take a break.

Key rules of Walking Football:

· No running or jogging, with or without the ball

· Low impact tackling only

· No offsides

· The ball must not be kicked or deflected by any outfield player, or thrown (by the goalkeeper), above head height

· A player can only kick the ball three times before another player must touch it
