Walking Football Taster Sessions Arrive Across Sutton — And They’re Completely Free for Residents
Sutton United Foundation is delighted to be supporting the Adults Physical Activity Campaign with a brand-new programme of FREE Walking Football Taster Sessions for adults living in the London Borough of Sutton.
Designed to be welcoming, relaxed and suitable for a range of abilities, these sessions are a fantastic opportunity for residents to try something new, get moving, meet others and enjoy the game in a safe and supportive environment.
Whether you have played football before, have not kicked a ball in years, or simply want to find a friendly way to become more active, walking football is a brilliant place to start.
A Friendly Way to Get Active
The Adults Physical Activity Campaign aims to encourage more adults across Sutton to enjoy the benefits of being active, using the excitement around the 2026 FIFA Men’s World Cup to help inspire people to get involved.
We aim to encourage more adults across Sutton to enjoy the benefits of being active, using the momentum and excitement around this summer’s World Cup to help inspire people to get involved.
As part of the campaign, funds from Sutton Council have enabled the Sutton United Foundation to deliver walking football taster sessions at locations across the borough, giving residents the chance to take part for free.
What Is Walking Football?
Walking football is exactly what it sounds like — football at a walking pace.
It is lower impact than the traditional game, making it ideal for adults who want to stay active without the pressure of running, high-intensity play or competitive stress.
Sessions are social, inclusive and encouraging, with the focus on movement, enjoyment and confidence.
Who Can Take Part?
These taster sessions are open to adult residents of the London Borough of Sutton and are particularly aimed at those who may be less active, returning to activity after a break, or looking for a new way to move more.
There are both men’s and women’s sessions available, with sessions taking place at Goals North Cheam, Sutton High School and Westcroft Leisure Centre.
Best of all — the sessions are completely free for Sutton residents.
