Walking football
Walking football is a low-impact, modified version of football (soccer) where players walk instead of run. This reduces risk of injury, making it an ideal way for seniors, those recovering from injury, or those looking for a gentler sport to stay active.
Walking Football 4 Health Victoria runs our walking football sessions. As a not-for-profit organisation, they’re dedicated to promoting health, social inclusion and wellbeing as well as making soccer more accessible, ensuring that age, fitness levels or health conditions do not become barriers to participation.
- No running: Players must always have one foot on the ground.
- Non-contact sport: Tackling and physical challenges are minimized to prevent injuries.
- Modified rules: Smaller pitches, lower-intensity gameplay, and reduced ball heights make it safer and more accessible.
- Team-based environment: Encourages communication, teamwork, and social interaction.
