Duffers United Football Club (DUWF) is based in the Vale of Glamorgan South Wales. We provide an opportunity for ladies of all abilities over the age of 40 to connect with football in a friendly, safe and supportive environment. DUWF is a not for profit club with all income used for the benefit of club members.
Walking Football is a small sided ball game (usually 6 a-side). It is like standard 5 a-side football in some respects in that the ball must not go over head height, but the biggest difference is, as the name suggests, no running or jogging is allowed. This includes no running with or without the ball. You can walk as fast as you can manage but one foot must always be in contact with the ground.
Another big difference that makes it a safer sport, especially those with health conditions, is that it is a non-contact sport. Although tackling is allowed, this must be done with no contact.
If you have played football before, the skills you learned will come flooding back to you.
