ABOUT WALKING FOOTBALL NELSON...
LATEST NEWS...
Where we began
Started in 2019, Walking Football Nelson is targeted at the over 50's, but we are flexible on participation. Currently our sessions are the Garin College Gym on Monday nights from 8pm during the school terms.

Walking Football is aimed at keeping people involved with the sport if, due to a lack of mobility or injury (or other reasons), they are no longer able to play the traditional game.
With a wide range of fitness and skill levels among our participants, it is fun, social and a great opportunity to reap the mental and physical health benefits of being involved in active sport again.
SPONSORS AND PARTNERSHIPS ARE IMPORTANT TO US...
Walking Football Nelson greatly appreciates the support of some fantastic local businesses, and thanks each one of them for coming on board and helping us promote and grow the sport.

We had a great year during 2020, and despite Covid-19, 3 changes of venue, and several injuries - we've kept the intensity and social competitiveness going. Looking forward to getting back into it in 2021 (see below for details)...

Huge thanks also to our dedicated sponsors who continue to support our fantastic club - Absolute Energy, Silky Saws NZ, Bowater Honda who are now Honda Cars Nelson and the Sprig and Fern Brewery. Thank you all.
