Letham FC to trial “Walking Footballâ€
“Walking Football†is an initiative that has been introduced in several community sports clubs in the UK and has already been featured on BBC. It is designed for the more mature men who are not as active as they once were and need to start getting fit, whether on a personal basis or recommended by health professionals. “Walking Football†is just that. It is played as a 4 + per side (depends on pitch or court dimensions), at walking pace. The rules are similar to those for regular football except that running is not allowed. It takes players back to the basics of “letting the ball do the workâ€. Walking quickly is actually more beneficial than jogging or running. Letham FC would like to trial “Walking Football†initially in local Sports Centres and would like to hear from 55+ year olds “boys†who might be interested.
