A NEW form of hoops will be trialled at Surfcoast Basketball Association (SBA) later this month with the association hoping to tap into a new demographic of basketballers.
SBA president Leon Sayers said the association will start gauging interest for a ‘walking basketball’ competition/program from Thursday, March 7 when it hosts the first of four trial sessions at Wurdi Baierr Stadium.
“Walking Basketball is a program we have looked at implementing for quite some time and will hopefully fill a gap in the basketball community.
“There’s a lot of people that for a host of reasons, age, medical conditions, other barriers, doesn’t allow them to run up and down the court for a game of basketball any more.
“So this program is designed for the older generations of basketball to keep up their love of the game even if they cannot physically keep up with the demands of the game.”
