Adapted sport gives more opportunity for netball players – Walking netball gives more opportunities for all players.
There’s no running or jumping and it suits all abilities – welcome to the latest variation of netball.
The Hamilton Netball Centre is offering a slower-paced version of the sport to allow all ages and abilities to play.
Organiser Shannon Martin said it makes sense to offer an adaptive, low impact game of netball.
“Traditional netball doesn’t really suit a lot of people.
“If you’re returning back to sport, or if you are rehabbing from an injury, obviously a lot of older people, and it’s quite a fun-orientated game as well.
“Even if you’re just starting a fitness journey, it’s a really good alternative to running or anything like that.”
Walking Netball is a low-impact sport that is fun and open to all ages. Players can register as individuals or as a team $2.00 per week
