WALKING FOOTBALL IN A CHALLENGING AND CURTAILED SEASON, WALKING FOOTBALL NEVERTHELESS MADE STRIDES AND GREW FURTHER WITH NEW CENTRES COMING ON BOARD AND EXCITEMENT BUILDING.

Walking Football is a great initiative that provides opportunities for players to come back to the game after having stopped because they are either unwilling or unable to continue traditional football. Having minimised the athleticism required and effectively eliminating contact, it’s also a great environment for people who have never played football before. While walking football is still in its infancy, we can see that the message is getting out and interest is growing. New programs at VSP, Highlands, Kissing Point, Berowra, Eastern Suburbs, the Hills and Macarthur all took their first steps and have laid down a platform to grow on for the future. Football NSW is excited about coming developments in Walking Football, including competitive leagues, in 2022 and beyond.
