Walking Netball
Walking Netball is netball at a walking pace – a modified version of the game designed to reduce the risk of injury while promoting a safe, fun and inclusive environment for play. It’s perfect for anyone who feels they can no longer play the traditional format, those new to the sport, or anyone looking for a friendly and social way to stay active. Walking Netball not only supports your physical health and wellbeing, but also helps you stay connected and engaged, no matter your age or fitness level. Ready to get started?

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 also encourages social interaction and 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 previous netball experience.
Walking Netball is designed to reduce the risk of injury and falls to the players while promoting a safe, non-threatening environment for play, which is achieved through these modifications to the rules: • You are not allowed to run or jump! Walking is required at all stages • Players get up to 2 steps with the ball! • You can hold possession of the ball for 4 seconds • There is rolling substitutions allowed throughout the game
