Men’s Walking Football with Lincoln City Foundation

This unique sport has captured many people’s attention because of the great comradery and the social aspects that come with playing the beautiful game.

There is a great sense of personal reward and achievement. The health benefits are just a bonus which include increased strength, stamina, stability, and flexibility.

But the opportunity to play football, and the physical capability to do so, has traditionally enjoyed a limited shelf life. While all of us will remember the joy of kicking a ball around as a child, and many will have continued playing into adulthood, few are to be found still lacing up their boots by the time we reach 50.

Walking football is changing that. Now, instead of older players becoming too slow to compete, football is slowing down to enable them to continue enjoying the sport they love. And its popularity is soaring.

The health benefits are just a bonus which include increased strength, stamina, stability, and flexibility.

Our sessions take place on Tuesday evenings 6-7pm and welcome anyone over the age of 18 who wants to play – but be warned it is harder than you think!
