HOW WALKING FOOTBALL IS 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.
- The program focuses on passing rather than speed/running; with flexibleits field sizes
- The focus is health through exercise, enjoying the love of the game and having fun and making connections.
