Walking Football offers a fun, low-impact alternative to traditional football, designed especially for those over 50 or anyone seeking a safer way to stay active. Players walk instead of run, keeping one foot on the ground at all times, which greatly reduces injury risks.
The game emphasizes teamwork and social interaction in a friendly, non-contact environment. Modified rules and smaller pitches make it accessible and enjoyable for all fitness levels.
Whether you're recovering from injury or simply want to maintain fitness with like-minded people, this activity provides a supportive and engaging community experience.
- Sessions take place every Thursday morning from 09:30 to 10:30.
- The first session starts on 2026-04-02 and repeats weekly.
- The game features non-contact play, reduced ball heights, and a smaller playing area.
- Suitable for individuals over 50 or anyone looking for a gentle workout.
The sessions are held at Brunswick Stadium, located at 6 Gardiner Street, Brunswick. The venue is easily accessible by public transport:
- A 10-minute walk from the #22 tram stop at Albert St/Sydney Rd.
- A 7-minute walk from Brunswick train station on the Upfield Line.
This convenient location makes it easy for families and individuals to attend regularly.
Walking Football is designed to minimize injury with strict no-running and non-contact rules. Players must always have one foot on the ground, and physical challenges like tackling are avoided.
