Frequently Asked Questions

Let's help get you up and walking quickly!

Is walking football suitable if I’ve never played before?

Yes — beginners are very welcome. We keep first sessions relaxed, explain things clearly, and make sure new players can join at their own pace.

How fast are the sessions?

Sessions are steady and supportive, not high-pressure. The focus is movement, enjoyment, and teamwork, with regular breaks and plenty of encouragement.

What should I wear and bring?

Wear comfortable sports clothing and trainers suitable for a sports hall or 3G surface. Bring water and any personal medication you may need.

What are the rules of play?
  • Walk, don’t run or jog—with or without the ball.
  • Keep the ball below head height.
  • No pushing, charging or tackling from behind.
  • No offsides

Don't worry too much, it will soon become second nature

Who can join the club sessions?

Adults of different fitness levels are welcome to join, with most of our players aged 50+. If you’re looking for a friendly, lower-impact way to stay active, this is a great place to start.

Will I feel welcome if I come on my own?

Absolutely. Many members joined on their own first. We introduce new players, keep things friendly, and make sure everyone feels included from day one.

How much does it cost to join?

Membership costs £13.50 per month and includes access to all indoor and outdoor sessions. If you’re interested, it also gives you the opportunity to play in the league team.

How do I play in the league?

If you fancy playing at a more competitive level, we play in the Devon FA Walking Football League roughly every 6 weeks. Just mention your interest at a regular session or via the WhatsApp group chat and we can go from there.
