Playing walking football is great fun and a good way to meet new people, socialise and keep active in a safe, supportive environment. It is ideal for those who have had to stop playing traditional football due to injury, age, or health, and the rules are the same, except for a few differences: the game is non-contact; players must walk with no running or jogging allowed; free kicks are indirect; kick-ins replace throws; there are no offsides; and the ball must be kept below head height.
