If you gave up playing netball due to injury, family commitments or just feeling too old to play regular netball anymore, then this modified version could be your perfect pathway back into the game you loved.
Organisers get lots of giggles when we say walking netball but it’s certainly not slow. Players can walk as fast as they like. It’s the same game with one or two tweaks.
The aim of the fast walking (rather than running) is to keep it safe and injury free for all.
It’s designed so anyone can play, regardless of age, ability or fitness level. It’s being played all around Australia and overseas, including in Noosa.
Many other sports are including the walking option into their programs to encourage more health and fitness across all age brackets.
With a focus on fun and social interaction, walking netball is a great way to stay active, energised, meet some new friends or better still catch up with old friends back out on the court again. Get some friends together and come and give it a go.
Games are played Wednesday nights 6-7.30pm at the Tewantin Netball Courts, McKinnon Drive and although they are part way through this season, they welcome all new players.
It’s purely social, no need to book, just turn up and play. There’s no scoring, no competition ladder, no uniform requirements and no need to find a team.
Come and try free for the first week then the cost is $10 per game, paid on the night. If you need more information, contact Jane on 0407 480 125 or email noosanetball@gmail.com
