Walking Football offers a fantastic low-impact alternative to traditional football, designed especially for those over 50, people recovering from injuries, or anyone wanting a safer way to stay active. The game emphasizes walking instead of running, reducing injury risks while keeping the spirit of football alive. Expect a friendly, team-based environment where communication and social interaction are encouraged.
The game features modified rules such as smaller pitches, non-contact play, and lower-intensity gameplay, making it accessible and enjoyable for all fitness levels. It’s a perfect way to get moving, meet new people, and have fun without the strain of high-impact sports.
Sessions run weekly on Thursday mornings from 9:00 to 10:00 am, starting from 26th February 2026. Each session costs between $4 and $5, making it an affordable option for regular physical activity. The game rules ensure safety and inclusivity, with no running allowed and minimal physical contact.
Players must always have one foot on the ground, and tackling is minimized to prevent injuries. The smaller playing area and reduced ball height help maintain a comfortable pace and reduce physical demands.
The sessions take place at Brunswick Stadium, located at 6 Gardiner Street, Brunswick. The venue is easily accessible by public transport, with a 10-minute walk from the #22 tram stop at Albert St/Sydney Rd and a 7-minute walk from Brunswick train station on the Upfield Line.
The stadium offers a welcoming community atmosphere, perfect for parents looking to encourage their older family members or themselves to stay active in a safe environment.
Walking Football is tailored to reduce injury risks and promote health and wellbeing. It’s ideal for older adults or those seeking a gentler form of exercise. Please wear comfortable sportswear and appropriate footwear.
Participants are encouraged to arrive a few minutes early to warm up and meet fellow players. The sessions are weather dependent, so check ahead if conditions are uncertain.
For any questions or further details, contact the organizer via email or phone.
The cost per session ranges from $4 to $5, payable on arrival. There is no need to book in advance; just turn up ready to play. This affordable pricing makes it easy to join regularly and maintain a healthy routine.
