To kick-off our Female Football Week activations, Football South Australia is placing an open invitation to all ages to come and try Walking Football at the new State Centre for Football at Gepps Cross.
While this 'Come and Try' is initially targeted at female participants as part of Female Football Week, we welcome all! The first 20 female participants though will receive a Football SA Gift Pack, so register now! There will also be a glass of champagne for all participants after the session.
The session is 6pm - 7.30pm and will take place on the 5-a-side pitches at our new State Centre for Football. And, it's FREE!
Whether you are new to the game, a current player, or a former player/legend of the game, we'd love to see you!

What is Walking Football?
Walking Football has become very popular around the world, aimed at over 50s, it enables older participants to be physically active in a fun, safe and inclusive environment.
It has specific rules that outlaw running and do not allow contact between players. Overhead height restrictions and indirect free kicks ensure that the sport is played safely with consideration to the participant's age.
Flexibility is a big attraction for Walking Football; it can be played on artificial surfaces, grass and on indoor or outdoor courts.
Walking Football provides health benefits to older participants by lowering heart rate and blood pressure. It enables them to be physically active, sustain and improve their balance, and increase mobility.
Come and join Walking Football in South Australia – meet new people and interact with individuals and small groups while maintaining a physically active lifestyle.
