About the Course

This course introduces you to Walking Football, a low-threshold, community-driven sport designed for people of all backgrounds — especially those who are often left out of traditional sports: mental health and substance use rehabilitators, older adults, and anyone looking for connection, movement, and meaning. Walking football is more than just football at a slower pace. It’s a safe, inclusive, and joyful way to move, meet others, and build community — at your own rhythm. Throughout this course, you’ll learn: What makes walking football special — and why it matters The core rules and values that guide the game The roles of coach, referee, and player in creating a safe and welcoming atmosphere How to start your own team and grow a community How the sport supports physical, mental, and social well-being And most importantly — how to have fun doing it Grounded in Kukunori’s nationwide work and inspired by dozens of real teams across Finland, this course offers not just guidance, but encouragement. You don’t need to be fit, fast, or experienced. You just need to show up. Whether you’re here to start a team, become a coach, or take your first step onto the field — you’re in the right place. You’re ready. And the game is already waiting for you. 💙
