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.
