    What You Can Expect

    Be Empowered To Stay Active, Connected, & Healthy Through Walking Football

    With Walking Football 4 Health, you can join small-sided games of walking football in Brunswick where the rules are modified to have no running, no contact, and no balls kicked above waist height. The modified rules allow individuals of all ages, abilities, and fitness levels to enjoy all the things they love about football (soccer) without the strain of needing to run almost all the time and the physical contact and high-flying balls which can potentially cause injury. As a result, our social program of walking soccer in Brunswick creates a safe, enjoyable, and inclusive environment for all to have fun!

    Designed to focus on family and community participation, and most importantly, better physical, mental, and emotional health and wellbeing, our sessions of walking football in Brunswick encourage participants to reconnect with movement in a supportive environment that values enjoyment as much as physical activity. The program helps foster new friendships and social connections, contributing to a greater sense of community belonging. It also provides an accessible pathway for individuals who may be returning to sport after injury, long breaks, or health challenges.
