Our Mission

At WFNSW, we believe in the power of sport to transform lives. Walking football is not just about playing a game; it is about fostering a community where everyone can improve their fitness, have fun, and make new friends. Whether you are continuing your love for football or trying it for the first time, walking football offers a safe, non-contact environment that prioritises enjoyment and camaraderie.

What is Walking Football?

Walking football is a modified version of traditional football that emphasises low-impact exercise. It is played on smaller pitches with teams typically consisting of 5 to 7 players. The rules are simple yet ensure safety and enjoyment: no running, no physical contact, and the ball must stay below head height. This format makes walking football accessible to all levels of ability and fitness.

Why Choose Walking Football?

Walking football provides numerous benefits:

  • Physical Health: Engage in regular exercise that improves cardiovascular health and overall fitness without the strain of high-impact activities.
  • Mental Well-being: Enjoy the mental health benefits that come from being active and part of a supportive community.
  • Social Connections: Meet like-minded individuals and build lasting friendships through shared experiences on and off the field.
