AFC TOTTON WALKING FOOTBALL · TUESDAYS & FRIDAYS
Walking football is football without the running — much like 5-a-side, without the physical demands. Open, friendly, mixed sessions every Tuesday and Friday morning at the Snows Stadium. Legends never run.
Walking football is a unique amateur sport. It plays much like 5-a-side, but without the physical demands of regular football — and, as the name suggests, there is no running. The main rules:
Walking football was created to promote the physical and mental well-being of the over-50s, and it has since grown into a brilliant way for people of any age with health conditions — or recovering from injury — to keep playing. At AFC Totton we run an open session with mixed teams of all ages.
Exercise helps the body produce dopamine — the happy hormone. Our players report real personal reward and satisfaction from every session.
Walking football is proven to improve health — reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke, and helping posture, balance, reactions, blood pressure, cholesterol and type 2 diabetes.
Social circles can shrink as we get older. Walking football is an active, welcoming community — build friendships and widen your circle.
Community is at the heart of AFC Totton. Come and build purpose into your exercise and your week.
You may not have kicked a football in years, let alone worn a full kit — don’t worry. Wear whatever you’re comfortable in (within reason): loose-fitting shorts, a t-shirt and trainers are perfect, though a pair of football shoes might give you a competitive edge.
The one thing we insist on is shin pads — an extra layer of protection that keeps the risk of injury down even further.
