Overview of Walking Soccer

Walking soccer is a modified version of regular soccer, played at a slower pace and without running. It is designed for individuals who are unable to play regular speed soccer due to physical limitations. The game follows similar rules and tactics as traditional soccer, but players must walk instead of run. Walking soccer provides an opportunity for older individuals or those with physical challenges to continue playing and enjoying the sport. It also offers a social aspect, allowing players to reconnect with old teammates and build new friendships.
