Walking Football is a slower version of the beautiful game that allows people to play football for longer. It is a great way to get outside and exercise, making friends along the way. With no running, jogging or heading and physical contact kept to a minimum, Walking Football is a fun and safe way for players to stay or get back into football. Please see below some of health and social benefits of Walking Football:
• Reduced risk of developing cardiovascular disease and strokes.
• Help people to lose weight.
• Improving your blood pressure.
• Reduced risk of Type 2 Diabetes.
• Make new friends and form lasting relationships.
