WHAT IS WALKING FOOTBALL?
- Walking Football is a social, small-sided & sustainable version of football specifically modified for older Australians focussing on passing rather than speed/running. It is a flexible accessible and inclusive format that highlights the health, well-being and social benefits of regular football and exercise activities for older people
- It is low-impact, team-based exercise, utilising the defined ‘Walking Football Rules and Formats’ specifically non-contact with the players ‘always having one foot on the ground’
- Matches are played with modified formats (5v5/6v6) on smaller pitches with shortened game times
- Walking Football aims to provide participants physical & mental health benefits, social contentedness and promotion of the benefits of ongoing physical activity.
After the come & try session you have the option to join our weekly games and be part of the “Webels” team!
