MK WALKERS FC
Football but without running! Pass, move, receive, pass, move, how fast can you walk?
A chance to score, can you still do it?
Whatever your motivation you will find that walking football can be friendly, exciting and competitive.
The manner in which the game is played promotes exercise and cardiovascular fitness whilst reducing the impact stress of running. Tackling is part of the game but for obvious reasons ‘slide-tackling’ is strictly not allowed.

WHO ARE WE
We are MK Walkers FC, Milton Keynes first walking football club. We came into existence in February 2014 following an initiative by Make a Difference (MaD), an MK based charity who organised a back to sport programme involving walking football. Since then the club has grown from strength to strength with an ever evolving committee and players who support and encourage each other.
