Walking Football is a slower paced, small, sided version of normal football with certain rules that differ. It involves always keeping one foot on the ground whether on or off the ball and a great way for people over-55 to enjoy football and keep active.
It is very similar to an ordinary game of football which is adapted with different rules and smaller sided teams.
Sessions take place every Tuesday and Thursday at the Beacon of Light in Sunderland.
The day was delivered in partnership with Sunderland AFC partners Utilita and the EFL. Supporters had the chance to take their photo with Sunderland AFC’s EFL Championship play-off final trophy.
England Women’s Euro success is another boost to women and girls’ football after the Foundation of Light stepped up its girls-only session delivery.
Foundation of Light are pleased to launch an exciting new initiative to develop female football coaches in Sunderland.
