Walking football is provided by Ayr United Football Academy (AUFA) for men and women aged over 50 who want to keep active, be competitive and have a ‘kick of the ball’ without worrying about strains and it's also a great way to meet new people.

The rules of walking football are simple: players will concede a free-kick if they break into a run. Slide tackling and kicking the ball above head height are also forbidden.

All games are organised and refereed by coaches from AUFA although rules are relaxed and there is plenty of good-natured banter!

The Friday morning session at Caledonian Park is a Low Intensity session.
