Walking Netball

Wales Netball tell us a little more about the sport: 

Introduction to Walking Netball

Walking Netball is Netball, but at a walking pace.

.

Walking Netball is suitable for individuals of any age, shape, and size. It is also applicable for those who have stopped playing the game, to engage in a new walking form of the sport which can be extremely fulfilling and good for wellbeing. 

.

All sessions should begin with warm up activities and end time allocated for cool down. There are also 10 Walking Netball 'mini-games' that can be used within sessions to work on skills and teamwork. 

.

The full game of Walking Netball has some rule changes to allow for a more accessible version of the sport, including:

• You can take an extra step when you catch the ball.
• You can hold the ball for 4 seconds before you pass.
• You must be 3ft (0.9 metres) away from the person with the ball.
• One foot must always be on the floor, so no running or jumping!

.

Walking Netball is a great alternative Netball and can promote socialisation, physical benefits, and good mental health and wellbeing.
