Football Victoria (FV) is working with local councils and parenting organisations to celebrate 2023 Seniors Month with the activation of Walking Football Come and Try Days.
Walking Football is a small-sided, low-impact, modified version of the game, suitable for all levels of ability and fitness, from people who are returning to sport after a break or those who have never played before. Walking Football aims to provide participants with physical & mental health benefits, social contentedness, and promotion of the benefits of ongoing physical activity.
