WABOL®: "We don’t stop playing sport because we grow old. We grow old because we stop playing sport."
It is a little like football, but it is neither football nor a version of it. It is a slower, more relaxed game, better suited to older people.
WABOL® is a game in which players may only walk; running is not allowed. It is designed to help people stay fit and maintain an active lifestyle, regardless of age or fitness level.
Come and try it: WABOL® sessions every week.
What is WABOL®, and what will you do?
You’ll take part in a walking activity specially adapted for you. You’ll play a very simple, gentle form of walking football, where you don’t need to have played football before or have experience in any sport.
In every session:
You’ll move gently, at your own pace, without running.
You’ll share the game with people like you: older, active and keen to have a good time.
You’ll be part of a friendly group, where community and respect matter most.
The activity lasts about an hour. You can come during the week or at weekends, as often as you like.

WABOL® began in 2016 with a simple idea: no one should have to stop playing. A team sport to stay active, connect with others and enjoy the game at your own pace.
We keep growing in numbers... and in wisdom too. Every week, more people join us in sharing the same passion. We have now surpassed 100 players — and by a long way! Enjoying sport, staying active, la…

In a time when many sports have lost some of their essence, WABOL® stands out as a unique space. A place where competing doesn't mean rivalry, where the ball generates connection rather than tension,…
