Walking Soccer
Walk, Don't Run!
What's the deal with Walking Soccer?!?
Start Walking Soccer within your Organization
Walking Soccer is just that… a walking version of the Beautiful Game. Its adaptive form offers opportunities to both the participant and the organization that may not have otherwise been available.
It is ideal for those with mobility or health issues, seniors, and those with injuries that would love a chance to get back on the pitch, and, it’s catching on - clubs all over the world are now starting to offer Walking Soccer. In the United Kingdom alone there are over 800 teams, and there is even a Walking Soccer National Body! Canada is starting to catch on to the trend, with programs currently running in Ontario, Nova Scotia and British Columbia.
