Walking basketball brought seniors together at Keilor Basketball Netball Stadium on Thursday 8 October, as part of the Brimbank Seniors Festival.

The relaxed, inclusive session offered participants the chance to enjoy basketball without the running, jumping or contact of traditional games.

Players took part in passing, shooting and friendly, low-impact games, with teams and opponents changing throughout the session.
