Chester FC Community Trust Walking Netball

Our amazing Walking Netball group enjoyed a memorable weekend away in Lloret De Mar.

Our amazing Walking Netball group enjoyed a memorable weekend away in Lloret De Mar.

We launched this programme a little over 12 months ago in partnership with England Netball and it has been a massive success. The slower-pace makes it accessible for all ages, abilities and fitness levels, and there’s a real emphasis on the social side, with lots of new friendships formed.

The team travelled to Spain to take part in a two-day event, playing 12 matches and recording four wins, but more importantly enjoying a weekend full of fun, laughter and special memories.
