A Fun health and socially based activity for both WOMEN and men
Walking Football is an increasingly popular fun health activity both Internationally and within other States of Australia, and a roll out is currently being attempted for Communities and Clubs throughout Tasmania.
It can be well adapted to both indoor and outdoor venues as appropriate, making it possible for year round participation within the range of climatic conditions experienced across the State.
Health Professionals and Politicians are increasingly acknowledging the potential health benefits, and its role in lifelong physical activity.
physical and mental health is the focuS …….
football is the “vehicle”
MOST IMPORTANTLY:
This health and socially based activity is for both WOMEN and MEN.
It is a no contact activity requiring no previous skill in kicking a ball – you just need a little enthusiasm, be able to walk at your own pace and the ability to have fun – the enjoyment will look after itself!
Why not ….GIVE IT A GO!
