After a successful Summer and Fall Walking Soccer Program (a version of soccer that has gained popularity across the world in recent years) we have added a winter indoor season to our league lineup beginning in mid-November.
What is Walking Soccer? Walking soccer is a low-impact, non-contact, and modified version of traditional soccer designed for all ages, particularly older adults, where running and jogging are forbidden. Participants must keep at least one foot on the ground at all times with rules focusing on safety, such as no overhead balls, no tackling from behind or non-incidental physical contact, and smaller fields. This version of soccer is designed to be inclusive and open to all ages and skill levels, but especially well suited for players dealing with physical limitations (injuries etc.) that restrict their ability to play the standard 7/11-a-side format. Walking soccer games are friendly, self-refereed, but a coordinator is always present to oversee the league games.

Don't forget! Soccer7s is part of another league. If the league you are looking for is sold out or are looking for somewhere or something different you can join in with all the leagues on offer at Ottawa Footy Sevens too.
