On April 20, 2024, the basketball clubs Wildcats from Nijmegen and Joy-M from Malden organize the first national Oldstars Walking Basketball tournament in the Netherlands. This event takes place in Sporthal De Horstacker, Horstacker 1401, 6546 EK Nijmegen and lasts from 11 am to 5 pm.
Pepijn Baneke, Alderman for Sport van Malden, will open the tournament around 10.30. There will be teams from Beuningen, Arnhem, Den Bosch, Zandvoort, Wageningen, Groningen and Zwolle and of course Nijmegen and Malden. Entrance for visitors is free, a great way to get acquainted with this relatively unknown branch of basketball.
Oldstars Walking Basketball is characterized by the fact that the players are not allowed to run and jump. And besides moving, there is plenty of time for the necessary social event. The target group is 55 +, but this is not strictly adhered to. Not sure if this is for you, contact your health insurer and then Wildcats (info@wildcats-nijmegen.nl). After a few free entries you will know if this sport is for you.
