Walking Rugby is a relatively new sport, which is proving very popular with the over forties. It’s an enjoyable way to add some light-hearted exercise into your weekly routine.

Walking Rugby is a fun team game that is accessible to people of all ages and abilities. It is attractive to both ex-players and those who are completely new to the game. Walking Rugby is a much simpler version of the traditional game of rugby. It is much less physical than a standard game of rugby, the aim is to participate, compete and most importantly, for players to enjoy themselves.

All sessions start and finish with some gentle warm-up and warm-down exercises to help with overall fitness levels. Sports enthusiasts will enjoy the pace and competitiveness of the game, while former rugby or netball players will welcome the flexibility walking rugby offers. As the name suggests, players must walk, not run but it can still be played at a good pace.

Walking Rugby is a game for both sexes, all abilities, and is suitable for anyone over 40, but any age is welcome. As it is a competitive passing game, it is particularly suitable for ex-Rugby and Netball players, injured and rehabilitating current players and those interested in Rugby but without any experience of playing. Walking Rugby is a great leveller. Players don’t need to be fit but participation will improve your fitness.
