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 flexible field sizes.
The focus is health through exercise, enjoying the love of the game and having fun and making connections.
