Not just a pillar in the area of “healthy football”
Health sports and exercise are important! And walking football is a relatively new version of football for athletes who can no longer practice the most beautiful thing in the world due to their age or health problems with muscles, joints, obesity or even the heart, but still enjoy football .
- Member acquisition: By offering walking football, clubs expand their target group to include the huge number of former footballers. In particular, older people and people with health problems can be actively approached and won over to the club. Walking football is also a low-threshold opportunity for newcomers of all ages to try out the ball and experience a community.
- Activation of passive members: Footballers often hang up their shoes because the game has become too dynamic for them. The susceptibility to injury is simply too high for them. Thanks to the special rules for walking football, passive members are reactivated and integrated into the social life of the club.
- Strengthen club life: Once formerly passive members are actively involved in football and club life again, the willingness to volunteer increases. Due to its inclusive nature, Walking Football also brings different members together through the fun of football.
- Healthy football in your club: Due to its regulations, walking football is ideal for people with health restrictions and/or handicaps. The variant allows them to play actively with a very low risk of injury. They exercise regularly with a ball and find doing sports together a real enrichment.
In recent years, walking football has developed into an up-and-coming sport with a large potential target group. The variant particularly appeals to people for whom classic football is too injury-prone or too dynamic.
