Walking Netball

Walking Netball is back in 2025!  

Walking Netball provides a fun, safe environment and encourages adults to have a more gradual introduction to physical activity by regaining necessary motor skills, helping balance, coordination, and better footwork. Other benefits include improved strength, flexibility and circulation, along with long-term fitness and weight maintenance benefits.

Walking Netball is also a fabulous opportunity to develop team spirit and encourages social interaction – it's a great way to make friends or even spend time with old friends on a regular basis.

Everyone is welcome to enjoy Walking Netball regardless of physical fitness, age or previous netball experience.

Walking Netball is the perfect way to stay active and have fun whether you've played netball before or not.
