Football, just without the sprinting. Rothwell Old Boars Walking Football Club brings people together to play, laugh, and compete at a slower pace. Open to all ages, all abilities, and all who fancy a kickabout.
Founded in 2015, Rothwell Old Boars began with a simple idea: keep the love of football alive, just without the full-throttle intensity of 11-a-side. What started as a group of friends has grown into a thriving, inclusive club where players of all ages and abilities can enjoy the game, stay active, and be part of a great community.
No running. No pressure. Just football.
Walking football is played at a slower pace with minimal contact, making it ideal for all ages and abilities. Come along, get involved, and enjoy the game. First session is free.

Walking football is a slower-paced version of the game where running is not allowed. It’s designed to be safe, inclusive and enjoyable, with a focus on skill, teamwork and having fun.
Everyone is welcome. We’re open to men and women of all ages and abilities, whether you’ve played before or are completely new to football.
Not at all. Sessions are relaxed and adaptable to all levels. You can take things at your own pace and build up your fitness over time.
The main rule is no running. There is minimal physical contact, and the game is played at a controlled pace to keep it safe and enjoyable for everyone.
Just wear comfortable sports clothing and trainers or football boots suitable for the surface. Bring some water, and you’re good to go.
It’s easy. Get in touch for more information or simply come along to a session. Your first session is free, so you can try it out with no pressure.
