Empowering Women Through Inclusive and Enjoyable Football

Exciting Launch of Women's Walking Football at Hebburn Town FC
Hebburn Town FC is thrilled to announce the launch of its new Women's Walking Football program! This initiative aims to provide an inclusive and enjoyable way for women of all fitness levels aged 40+ to engage in football, promoting both physical and mental well-being.

What is Walking Football?
Walking football is a slower-paced version of the beautiful game, designed to be accessible to everyone, regardless of age or fitness level. The rules are simple: no running, minimal physical contact, and the ball must stay below head height. This makes it an ideal sport for those looking to stay active without the intensity of traditional football.

Why Join Women's Walking Football?

  • Health Benefits: Walking football is a fantastic way to improve cardiovascular health, increase muscle strength, and enhance flexibility. It's also a great way to stay active and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

  • Social Interaction: Joining the team provides a wonderful opportunity to meet new people, make friends, and become part of a supportive community.

  • Mental Well-being: Physical activity is known to boost mental health, reduce stress, and improve overall mood. Walking football offers a fun and engaging way to achieve these benefits.

How to Get Involved
Hebburn Town FC welcomes all women interested in joining the walking football program. Whether you're a seasoned player or new to the sport, there's a place for you on the team. Sessions are held weekly, and new members are always welcome. We will have 2 sessions running every week, Tuesday from 11-12pm and Friday 8-9pm. To book on please visit
