Walking Football

Unfortunately, NWSF Walking Football will not be held in 2026.

North West Sydney Football remains committed to hosting Walking Football games in future years.

Walking Football promotes a fun, social and non-competitive version of football. Walking Football is designed for all players, fans, and newcomers to enjoy football at their own level.

Our Philosophy:

• Walking Football is a non-competitive/social, low-impact, team-based exercise, utilising the Walking Football Rules and Formats - specifically, minimal contact with players and always having one foot on the ground.
• Walking Football aims to provide participants with physical and mental health benefits, social connections, and the benefits of ongoing physical activity.
• Players are strongly encouraged to play Walking Football with an encouraging attitude, and show sportsmanship to ensure the safety & enjoyment of all participants. Aggressive tackles and body contact are not permitted and will be penalised by the referees. Players are to use positive and encouraging comments to all players.

 Player Eligibility:

• Players must be at least 40 years of age to participate in Walking Football. However, players that can provide proof of injury, disability, health issues, or other compelling reasons may be eligible, subject to NWSF approval.
• Players must have an attitude that supports the growth of participation and enjoyment in football. Players who do not display sporting behaviour will be removed from the program.
