What is Walking Football?
Walking Football is a low-impact, modified version of soccer where players are required to walk instead of run. The game maintains the essence of soccer while reducing injury risks, making it ideal for seniors, those recovering from injuries, or anyone looking for a gentle yet engaging way to stay active.
Key Features of Walking Football:
⚽ No running – Players must always have one foot on the ground.
⚽ Non-contact sport – Tackling and physical challenges are minimized to prevent injuries.
⚽ Modified rules – Smaller pitches, lower-intensity gameplay, and reduced ball heights make it safer and more accessible.
⚽ Team-based environment – Encourages communication, teamwork, and social interaction.
