Walking Football 4 Health Victoria

⚽❤️ More Than Sport. A Community Health Solution.

As communities across Victoria face rising loneliness, increasing chronic disease, and an ageing population, we need innovative approaches that help people stay active, connected, and healthy.

That's where Walking Football 4 Health Victoria is making a difference.

Walking football is a low-impact, inclusive version of the game designed for people of all ages and abilities. There’s no running and no contact, making it accessible for individuals managing chronic conditions, mobility limitations, injuries, or those simply looking for a supportive way to stay active.

The impact goes far beyond physical activity:

✅ Supports active ageing and improved mobility
✅ Boosts confidence and mental wellbeing
✅ Reduces loneliness and strengthens social connections
✅ Creates inclusive opportunities for people of all abilities
✅ Delivers preventative health benefits through an affordable, community-based approach

The evidence speaks for itself:

📊 98% of participants feel welcomed and valued
📊 95% report positive physical health benefits
📊 91% report improved mental wellbeing
📊 91% report stronger friendships and social connections
📊 Net Promoter Score of +76

This is what happens when sport becomes a vehicle for better health outcomes, stronger communities, and meaningful social connection.

Together, we can build healthier, more connected Victorian communities.

It was truly a family affair at our Eumemmerring Walking Football session tonight!

We welcomed three generations of one family onto the pitch – grandparents, their son and daughter, their daughter-in-law, and two grandchildren. It was fantastic to see everyone participating together, sharing plenty of laughs, and enjoying the game.

Of course, there may have been a little friendly family rivalry along the way! 😃

That's the beauty of Walking Football – it's a sport where everyone can play, regardless of age, fitness level, or ability. It brings people together, promotes active living, and creates connections that extend far beyond the game itself.

To make the most of the public holiday, we transformed our Eltham program into a family session today, and what a great day it was!
It was fantastic to see families playing side by side, having fun, supporting each other, and enjoying some extra time together.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us and helped create such a positive atmosphere.

We'd also like to thank Georgia from and the .locals app for generously shouting the drinks afterwards. It was the perfect way to wrap up a great community session.
