Walking Netball
Do you love netball but can't run and jump like you used to?
Walking Netball was developed in the UK and is now played around NZ and has been included in the Master's Games in 2020. If you can walk and catch a pass then you can play walking netball! You will get a surprising amount of exercise and satisfaction from this version of the game, but with low injury/impact risk.
We have postponed Term 3 2020 Walking Netball. With our condensed covid-affected season, we will be running shortened age group development programmes on these evenings instead. We hope to book new dates for Walking Netball - it's a lot of fun and a great way to bring our community together. We will promote any new dates here and on our facebook page.
