WALKING FOOTBALL
Are you one of the 85% who want to play more competitive matches - regularly?
David Platt - Co Founder
70% of you play Walking Football more than twice per week.
85% of you want to play more competitive Walking Football.
You want the camaraderie, the banter, the physical and mental benefits, but you also want to feel the tension that competitive football brings - again.
You want structure and organisation.
I’ve been enthused by the passion that you show for the sport. It’s deep-rooted, not just because of the playing side but because you want the sport to prosper, to grow and become established, you care about it. The sense of community I’ve found in conversations with you all is huge. Harnessed in the right way that community will exponentially grow the sport to a place where it’s accepted universally.
The Walking Football League is a brand new, fresh concept with a blank canvas on which together we can form what you need and what you want from Walking Football. Unlimited by age or gender, our leagues are open to anyone. The rules of walking football level the playing field. Whatever your age you can play.
Email, call, text - whatever medium you are comfortable with contact us to learn more.
Who can play? - Anyone
We know from conversations that existing teams want to play but may have players who can’t get the time off work to do so. Be creative, if you have a team like this then so do others, amalgamate with them, form a new team, have some fun choosing a new name.
It doesn’t stop you playing for YOUR team in another league, you just play for a different one in The Walking Football League.
We’d like to encourage new players to play Walking Football, to grow the community.
Fancy playing but don’t have a team?
We’ve spoken to individuals who want to start playing or those that just want to play more. We’ve made that easy for you. Each of our venues has teams where individuals or friends can sign up and register - Click Here
Are you the owner of a business?
Why not enter a team, then mix executives, employees and customers together to represent you.
Use it to motivate, to bond, at the same time as entertaining your customers.

Excellence Throughout
One of our core values is excellence. We want you to play at venues with state of the art surfaces, use equipment of the highest standard - goals, pitch markings, footballs, corner flags with actual flags in them. Referees wearing the same uniform, and each team looking smart by choosing their playing kit from our extensive range.
