Walking Football
Walking football is a variant of association football that is aimed at keeping people aged over 65 involved with football if, due to a lack of mobility or for other reason, they are not able to play the traditional game. If a player runs then they concede a free kick to the other side. This slow paced version of the popular game is an ideal way to exercise and meet new people. Both men and women, over 65, are welcome to participate.
