Walking Soccer has been positively impacting the lives of our Seniors Community and has gained popularity not only for all the fun and excitement it creates but also for its incredible health benefits. Professional Medical Experts state that participating in walking soccer can help to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke, have positive changes in balance, blood pressure, and resting heart rate, lowered cholesterol, improved blood sugar levels, bone density, reaction rates and drastically reduces the odds of type 2 diabetes.

With age, many people start suffering from balance, strength, stamina, weight, and overall lack of self-confidence. Walking soccer has been proven to be of significant support in these areas through building body strength, improving muscle movements, increasing core stability, and improving overall mental health. Walking soccer provides you with a fun new way to get your body moving which will in turn promote all kinds of changes in the brain, including neural growth, reduced inflammation, new activity patterns that promote feelings of calm and well-being, and release endorphins, powerful chemicals in your brain that energize your spirits and make you feel good. These health benefits reduce the effects of the cognitive and physical decline associated with diseases such as Parkinson’s, Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease, specifically the postural and motor functions of Alzheimer’s patients.

​The Seniors joining our Walking Soccer Program should be excited to expand their friend circles, create a positive relationship with exercise, and partake in some friendly camaraderie, all through having FUN playing some soccer.
