What is Walking Netball?

Walking Netball is a health and wellbeing program catering to all fitness levels. The program provides a fun, safe environment and provides adults with a more gradual introduction to physical activity, allowing them to regain and maintain the necessary motor skills along with 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 is 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 netball experience. 

 

Ways to Play Walking Netball

Exericse Class 
The exercise class brings together a variety of low-intensity cardio, strength, balance, coordination, and fun netball drills with a game to finish off the session. Classes are designed for individual registrations, so participants don’t need to worry about finding a team.
Social Competition 
For those wanting to play Walking Netball without the traditional competitive elements the social competition format offers weekly modified netball matches with no regular fixtures, scoring or ladder. Participants turn up on the day, create teams and play Walking Netball.
Traditional Competition 
The Traditional Walking Netball format is designed for those who still want to play competitive netball but at a walking pace. A regular fixture is created and scores and ladders kept. Participants can create a team, sign up to an existing team, or register as an individual.

Your host venue is trained to mix up the activities to cater for all skill and fitness levels, so while it's great for beginners, more experienced netball players will also have a great time.
