Established in 2015, we now have over 50 regular players in four weekly sessions.
Building community and fellowship through playing fun football. Walking football has democratised our wonderful team sport like no other format of the game. For all ages; ladies and gents; beginners to veterans. Our sessions provide informal and fun matches; slower paced games with no running and no contact. The games are played in the right spirit, with respect and thought for others, so there’s no need for referees (our coaches are there to organise, ensure you have a good time and provide individual assistance).
We affiliate with The FA, and align ourselves with the aims, standards, and playing rules of the The WFA.
“Uniquely real walking football. No running and no contact. Promoting duty of care and increased inclusive participation.”

We play ‘Fast Futsal‘ – a slightly modified version of the game that keeps the ball moving, and we apply a ‘MiniFutsal™‘ format (smaller pitch) which reduces the temptation to run and focuses play on skill and strategy rather than physical attributes. We also have a few rules to reduce the risk of injury: no overhead ball, all free kicks are indirect and shooting is only allowed in the opposition half.
Inclusion and disability
Our all age sessions are open to anyone: any age, any gender and any ability. However our Wobbly Walking Futsal sessions offer a very much slower paced game for those with a temporary or permanent impairement, either physical or mental. The sessions run with enhanced respect game rules: no overhead height and considerate shooting (power and height). Wobbly players must of course be physically capable and medically safe but will generally be older (age 60+).
