WALKING FOOTBALLThough based on association football (albeit with more than 50 differences), the key difference in the rules, from standard football, is that if a player runs ( Walking only) then they concede a free kick to the other side. This restriction, together with a ban on side and rear tackles, is aimed both at avoiding injuries and facilitating the playing of the sport by those who are physically disadvantaged.The manner in which the sport is played promotes cardiovascular fitness whilst producing the least stress on the body.It also helps participants maintain an active lifestyle. In walking football the game is played with goalkeepers and, crucially, the ball must never be above head height,this is classed as a dead ball and free kick given.No offside rule .Different footballs are used in the indoor and the outdoor variations of the sport. When played indoors, a size 4 futsal ball is used. Outdoor games involve a traditional football. The size of the pitch can vary to suit different locations. The length should be from 20 to 40 yards and the width between 15 and 30 yards.
