Walking football (WF) is a modified, non-contact, small field version of football for women (over 40s) and men (over 50s) and is ideal for players of all abilities.
WF has a huge participation rate internationally and is recognised by Football Northern NSW. WF is also included in the Masters Games.
Bangalow WF is keen to recruit more players for their weekly social games.
