Walking football at Altrincham FC in the Community
Walking football is different to regular Association Football in many ways, and is traditionally aimed at the over 50’s age group, or those whose mobility may be slightly compromised. However, many tournaments are now catering exclusively for the over 60’s age group.
Walking football has very specific rules that outlaw all running and allow either no contact or only minimal physical contact between players. Over-head height restrictions and indirect free kicks ensure that the sport is played safely with full consideration to the participants’ age.
For a number of years now we have been offering our local community the chance to play walking football at a number of venues and times around the local area.
• Wednesday 9 – 10am Altrincham FC Community Sports Hall
• Thursday 10 – 11am – Broomwood Community Centre
£4.00 per session – bookable online
Coach: Matt Phillips
