Give Walking Football a go!

Have you tried Walking Football?

Walking Football is a small-sided, low-impact, modified version of the game, suitable for all levels of ability and fitness, from people who are returning to sport after a break or those who have never played before.

After a long stretch of isolation and reduced activity in Victoria, now is the perfect time to give it a go!

Walking Football aims to provide participants physical & mental health benefits, social contentedness and promotion of the benefits of ongoing physical activity. Our Walking Football program caters for individuals of all ages with a focus on men and women aged over 55 years - and there are programs running at venues across the state.

How is Walking Football played?

• Matches are played with modified formats (5v5/6v6) on smaller pitches with shortened game times
• Running is not allowed. A participant always has to have one foot on the ground.
• It is a non-contact version of the game.
• The ball cannot be kicked above head height.
• There is no heading of the ball.
• There are no ‘referees’ as such and the competitive angle is kept to a minimum.
• The focus is on fun and making friends.
