The winter 2026 session will run from January 28 through March 18, offering a fun, supportive, and engaging way to improve balance, coordination, and overall health.

Here’s the rest of their news release:
Walking Soccer for Parkinson’s is a modified soccer program that removes running from the game and emphasizes walking, skill-building, strategy, and teamwork. Coached by a neurologic physical therapist alongside experienced soccer coaches, participants are challenged both physically and cognitively as they learn soccer skills and progress into walking soccer games.
- Embrace the health & social benefits of Walking Football with our “Walking Football – Is My Therapy” design perfect for players, supporters, & anyone who believes in the therapeutic magic of this socially inclusive, low-impact sport that gifts its players.

One program participant shared, “Everyone running the day was awesome… (they) adjust drills when needed and help make everyone at ease with participating. It was nice to have leaders who really knew the game and had the skills to keep the activity moving.”
The program is open to individuals with Parkinson’s Disease who are able to walk without assistance and have been cleared for exercise by their physician. Sessions will take place every Wednesday from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at Bend FC Futsal Courts. We will also offer outdoor sessions in the Spring!
Thanks to generous support from the Parkinson’s Foundation, participation in the Walking Soccer for Parkinson’s: Winter 2026 program is completely free for individuals with Parkinson’s Disease and their caregivers. Destination Rehab also extends sincere thanks to Bend FC for providing the space to host this program and for their continued community support.
