Join us for weekly Walking Football Sessions, delivered in partnership with Walking Football 4 Health Victoria. These sessions offer a fun, inclusive way to stay active, strengthen social connections, and enjoy the game of soccer - at a gentler pace.

What is Walking Football?
Walking Football is a low-impact, modified version of soccer where players are required to walk instead of run. The game maintains the essence of soccer while reducing injury risks, making it ideal for individuals over 50, those recovering from injuries, or anyone looking for a gentle yet engaging way to stay active.
Key Features
No running - Players must always have one foot on the ground.
Non-contact sport - Tackling and physical challenges are minimised 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.
Weekly sessions will be held in the stadium at Ascot Vale Leisure Centre.
