WHAT IS WALKING FOOTBALL?

• Walking Football is a social, small-sided & sustainable version of football specifically modified for older Australians focussing on passing rather than speed/running. It is a flexible accessible and inclusive format that highlights the health, well-being and social benefits of regular football and exercise activities for older people
• It is low-impact, team-based exercise, utilising the defined ‘Walking Football Rules and Formats’ specifically non-contact with the players ‘always having one foot on the ground’
• Matches are played with modified formats (5v5/6v6) on smaller pitches with shortened game times
• Walking Football aims to provide participants physical & mental health benefits, social contentedness and promotion of the benefits of ongoing physical activity.

HOW IS WALKING FOOTBALL PLAYED?

• 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.
