What are Walking Sports?
Most of the sports have the same rules as standard versions only rather than running to get the ball or move into position, you walk – without the high impact or strenuous level of activity that standard versions of the same games.
The popularity of walking versions of sports is growing, and we already have many walking sports opportunities across the county
What are the Benefits of Walking Sport?
Walking sport is open to all, offering an opportunity to do some exercise and also enjoy the social benefits of sport.
They provide an ideal opportunity for people to get together to enjoy competitive team sports without it being overly strenuous. Men and women can play alongside each other and all participants benefit from playing the sport they love at a slower pace in a friendly social environment.
Walking sport helps to boost both your physical and mental health, is fully inclusive and also boosts your morale while meeting new people.
