Walking Netball

Walking Netball is a modified version of the traditional game that allows anyone to participate regardless of their age, fitness level, ability or prior experience. As the name implies, Walking Netball is a slower version of netball performed at a walking pace. Rather than focusing on competitive aspects, Walking Netball emphasizes getting people to take part in a safe and enjoyable environment.

By using modified rules, Walking Netball minimizes the risk of injuries and falls to players, creating a safe, non-threatening environment for play.

Anyone! Walking Netball is for any age, skill level or fitness level. Whether you have played before, haven’t played in a long time, or never played before, all individuals are welcome to participate.

Not only does Walking Netball provide a fun, safe environment for physical activity; it has some physical benefits including improved strength, balance, flexibility, and circulation, along with long-term fitness and weight maintenance benefits. Participants will experience improvements to their physical exercise levels, physical health and mental wellbeing. 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.

Each Walking Netball game will run for four (4), eight (8) minute quarters. All Walking Netball sessions will include a warmup prior to the game.

No. The best thing about Walking Netball is that you do not have to be good at netball to get involved. In fact, it doesn’t matter if you’ve never played before.
