The new version of EA Football Club Walking Football Laws Of The Game has been drafted and agreed by the Referees Group and approved by the football club’s Committee. It will come into force on Sunday 22nd June, 2025.
All registered with EA Football Club as a walking footballer MUST read and acquaint themselves with the content of this document. This will help facilitate the smooth-running of our walking football sessions.
Changes from the previous version are highlighted in blue text.
On behalf of the football club’s Committee, we would like to reinforce that the safety and well-being of our players is paramount. To that end, we would like to draw your attention to the section entitled ‘Player safety’ and in particular the player welfare stop newly-prescribed by point e. This is NOT optional and therefore cannot by overridden by any individual, or individuals.
In addition, please note a further newly-prescribed section ‘The referee’.
Other changes surround the formal introduction of the three team non-walking infringement described in ‘The penalty kick’, and the streamlining of ‘Disciplinary sanctions’.
As with any new version of our laws, it will take time for the consistent adherence to evolve.
We can all support each other in this.
Finally, as mentioned in the football club’s Code of Conduct, please always remember our President’s ethos of FUN, FRIENDSHIP AND FITNESS.
