Walking Football

What to expect

Team work and skill characterise walking football. You don’t have to be fit or have played football before to take part, though you are advised to take it easy to start with until your fitness levels improve. Teams are supportive and welcoming and everyone can have a go – if you can walk, you can play!

Contact the organiser before turning up to make sure there are spaces and to check about appropriate clothing and footwear (trainers might not be suitable for some surfaces).

The information below may be subject to change – please check with the organiser before you turn up for a game.
