Walking football
Thousands of people have rediscovered the joy of playing football again thanks to a slowed-down version of the game.
Walking football aims to inspire people back into exercise as it’s played at a more leisurely pace. It's also perfect for people who are recovering from a long term injury and want to continue to enjoy playing football.
The rules are much the same as the normal game, however there are some differences.
- The squads are smaller (between five and seven), free kicks are indirect
- Kick-ins replaces throws
- There are no offside
- The ball must be kept below head height
- Anything so much as a jog is prohibited and any player caught running concedes a free kick to the opposition
