Dorset County Football Association is pleased to confirm a new Walking Football League for Dorset commencing October 2018.
The league offers over 50’s and over 60’s, the opportunity for age groups to compete in a league format from October 2018 to March 2019.
It is the first competitive league for Walking Football in Dorset with 5 clubs entering 8 teams across the two age groups.
Walking Football is exactly as the name suggests – you play football, walking and its usually aimed at people over 50, this inclusive, fun and sociable small sided version of the game is slow-paced but lacks none of the passion or excitement of the original game.
Whether you’re looking to keep active, stay fit, make new friends or simply want to play for the love of the game, Walking Football offers the perfect opportunity to take to the pitch.
As well as the health benefits associated with most forms of physical activity; keeping fit and active, weight loss etc. there are also many social health benefits that come with playing Walking Football.
Taking time to socialise, meet new people or even build confidence are all part and parcel of taking part in this slower version of the beautiful game.
In addition to the league teams there are several turn up and play type Walking Football sessions across Dorset details of which can be found on our website – http://www.dorsetfa.com/players/ways-to-play/walking-football
