Bedford Walking Football Club
Join the club
Your next chapter of football starts here.
Everyone is welcome, whatever your age or experience. Come along to see a Monday session, or apply to join through our club manager.
The club manager handles your registration, contact details and the information the club needs before you play. Existing players can sign in there too.
For a question before joining, email [email protected]. Bring comfortable sports clothing and footwear suitable for an artificial pitch. Bibs and balls are provided.
Warm Up!
Walking football uses different muscles to regular "running" football. Your calves and hamstrings need to be gently eased in. Don't overdo your first session, take it easy.
Know the Rules
We play 3 touch football to give everyone a chance to get the ball. No over head height - head height is actually the height of the crossbar. No physical contact - keep the tackles for the ball only. No tackling from behind. Walking means 1 foot on the ground at all times, heel to toe motion. 4 walking offences per team in each game = penalty to the opposition.
Have Fun!
We have a mixed group of all ages and abilities, sometimes you'll win, sometimes you'll draw, sometimes you'll lose. Whatever the result, just enjoy it, after all, you probably didn't think you'd ever be playing football again did you? Don't moan at the referees or other players - they are here to have fun too!
