Walking Football on Show

In late 2017 Football NSW launched the pilot program ‘Walking Football,’ to ensure that our wonderful game was able to be more inclusive than ever before.

Walking Football is a program which aims at targeting inactive individuals over the age of 50, whilst promoting social gatherings for those within this age bracket. The program has proven to be instrumental in re-engaging with former players both male and female, club volunteers and seniors, with Nepean Football & South Coast Football already hitting the ground running with the modified program.

Last week the Sydney ICC in Darling Harbour hosted the 2018 Seniors Festival, to which Football NSW was present at over the two exhibition. Development Officers Charlotte Ercil & Kevin Amaya were present at the festival promoting all things ‘Walking Football,’ helping those participants understand that football can be a life long game for individuals.
