Burwash Over 50's Walking Football Group

We first toyed with the idea of starting up a ‘Walking Football’ group after trying it at a Burwash Juniors FC presentation evening in 2017. It was entertaining and, without being cruel to those involved, a real laugh, so we had to give it a go.

We play every Tuesday at 6pm at Swan Meadow playing field Burwash. The session lasts about an hour. Then it’s off to the Rose & Crown for a quick pint!

In the spirit of simply enjoying the beautiful game – and because no one can actually remember all the rules – we only insist on three:

• Rule 1) No running
• Rule 2) The ball must stay below head height
• Rule 3) It’s not serious and has to be fun

Walking Football is aimed at over 50’s, but if you’re 47, 48 or 49 ish we won’t be checking birth certificates.

Come along and try it. Exercise is good for you even if it’s only from laughing.
