Walking Soccer for Over 65’s

Walking Soccer for Over 65’s

Walking Soccer for Over 65s is a fun and safe way to stay active while enjoying a team sport. This modified version of soccer is designed especially for older adults, with simple rules to keep everyone moving comfortably. The game is played at a walking pace only—no running allowed. The ball must stay below hip height, there are no goalkeepers, and physical contact is not permitted. These rules help reduce the risk of falls or injuries, making it suitable for people of all fitness levels.

Taking part in Walking Soccer helps improve heart health, leg strength, and balance through steady movement. Playing in a team also supports social wellbeing, giving you the chance to meet new people, share a laugh, and stay connected with your community. The relaxed, friendly atmosphere makes it easy to join in, even if you haven’t played sport in years.

Whether you want gentle exercise, social connection, or a fun weekly routine, Walking Soccer offers a safe and enjoyable way to support healthy ageing.
