What is Walking Football?

Walking Football is football with one simple tweak: no running. It’s gentler on joints, easy to pick up, and brilliant for fitness and confidence. Sessions focus on short passes, good positioning, and lots of smiles, ideal if you’re returning to activity, managing an injury, or just prefer a calmer kickabout.
