Walking football

John, the organiser of Walking Football in Walton-on-Thames, would like to extend a personal note to the sports community. Walking Football is designed for players of all ages who have physical limitations or simply prefer a lower-impact form of exercise. It promotes active living, social interaction, and a love for football.

John ensures that Walking Football provides a welcoming environment for people of all abilities and fitness levels. Whether you’re a seasoned player or a complete beginner, all are encouraged to join this friendly community. John believes that football isn't just about competition; it's about building friendships and creating a sense of belonging.

The club organises regular training sessions and matches, with morning, afternoon, and evening options at the Xcel gym and outdoor sessions at Molesey Hurst Rec. These facilities offer an excellent setting to enjoy the sport.

John places a high priority on the health and well-being of all members, promoting regular exercise and physical activities to maintain a healthy lifestyle. He firmly believes that football can boost both mental and physical well-being.

Beyond football, the club hosts social events throughout the year, including barbecues, picnics, golf tournaments, and other activities. These events provide opportunities to socialise and create lasting memories.

John and Walking Football take pride in the club's sense of community, celebrating player achievements and contributions. Player of the Day highlights individual accomplishments and showcases the diverse members who make up the club.

With a strong focus on camaraderie, sportsmanship, and fair play, the club fosters mutual respect and support among its members, ensuring that everyone has a chance to participate and enjoy football, regardless of skill level or physical ability.

Walking Football has been acknowledged for promoting health and participation in sport, with an Honours Board displaying the club’s achievements. Besides football, members can enjoy other activities, like the Health Golf Society, which combines the love for football and golf in friendly competitions.

The club regularly organises fixtures and keeps everyone updated with the latest results. John's goal is to provide an enriching experience for all members, promoting an active lifestyle, fostering friendships, and creating a strong sense of community.

Walking Football’s motto is “Live Life, Don't Just Exist. Just Play, Have Fun, Make Friends, Enjoy the Game & Stay Healthy.” John invites individuals of all ages and abilities to join in and experience the joy of football.
