Walking football is a slower version of the World Game. It is a low impact sport, which is ideal for people wanting to be active, more social and fitter without the pain that goes with fast-paced sports.
Games are played in a 5v5 or 6v6 format, on a small-sided football pitch. The obvious difference is there is to be no running or jogging. Only walking is permitted. As a general rule, all players must always have at least one foot on the ground at all times.
There are many benefits that come from playing Walking Football:
- Quick recovery rate
- Less impact than most other sports
- Low cost
- Extremely enjoyable
- Anyone of any level of fitness can play
- Relaxed atmosphere
- Extremely social
- Flexible attendance
