About the course

Welcome to The FA’s Guide to the Laws of Walking Football

Whatever your role in Walking Football, whether you are beginning your journey as a referee, or a player wanting to understand the Laws in more detail, this course will help you to understand the key Laws of the Game and how they’re applied.

You’ll learn about how some Laws differ from the traditional game to prioritise the health and safety of players, how to recognise and sanction ‘not walking’, and managing physical contact effectively.

There are three modules in total covering the key elements of the Laws. To finish the course and access your certificate, you need to complete all three modules, and the post-course survey.
