Play the slower beautiful game
Try walking football for free!
Walking football is rapidly growing in popularity across the UK and is a great way for people to get involved in an accessible, fun and social version of football.
​Porter FC's walking football group is open to men & women of all ages & abilities and will be of particular interest to those who thought football was no longer an option for them due to previous injury, general fitness, mobility or age.
Benefits beyond just football
There are plenty of other reasons to play, including:
- Maintaining an active lifestyle
- Improving fitness
- Losing weight
- Improving stability and strength
- Meeting new people
Formed in 2016, and originally named Dore Walking Football due to our independent roots in Dore, Sheffield, we moved into the Porter FC family in 2025. Our open sessions run on Monday evenings at Norton Sports Park, Warminster Rd (S8 8PS). The first session is free, after which it's just £5 per week you play. Please register your interest via this site before attending.
​
Porter FC also plays competitively in the Sheffield & Hallamshire FA Walking Football League and in other competitions - including FA and WFA Cups.

Walking football has turned my life around
Walking football - a growing sport
About Chris Roy: I originally set up Dore Walking Football in 2016 (moving it under Porter FC in 2025). Through walking football, I aim to help others play a game they love when they thought it was no longer an option for them. I am the current Chair of Porter FC, one of Sheffield's largest grassroots FA 1-Star Accredited football clubs, and I also coach the Porter FC u18s team. I hold an FA Level 1 and Level 2 (Block 1) Licence to coach adults and children.
