WALKING NETBALL 

Walking Netball

Do you love netball but not the high impact nature of the game?  Come out of 'Netball retirement', build fitness, recover from injury, or take it easy pre/post baby. Walking netball is for all adults and provides a suprising amount of excercise and satisfaction with low impact/injury risk. 

Walking netball provides people an opportunity to engage in netball in a low impact environment, with no running or jumping. There is a great social atmosphere surrounding walking netball. 

Modified rules:

• No running
• No jumping
• One foot must be grounded at all times
• Players may take one step
• Players have 4 sec to release the ball once in their possession
• Normal contact and obstruction rules apply.
• No uniforms are required.  We make up teams on the night and provide bibs/ball and umpire.  Bring your friends or make new ones on the night.
