50+ Walking Football with Gateshead FC Foundation

Walking Football at Birtley Leisure Centre - over 50’s

Walking football offers a multitude of health benefits to people such as reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke while improving blood pressure.

Walking football also gives an often isolated section of the community the chance to become involved in something they really enjoy, make new friends, form lasting relationships with like-minded people and generally improve their social circle and overall quality of life, often making them feel less isolated and more a part of the wider community.

There are also many psychological and mental health advantages to playing walking football namely high levels of personal reward and satisfaction with reduced levels of stress and exertion while playing, despite working physically hard.
