Walking Netball Thursdays 11am – 12.30pm YMCA Leisure City
Walking Netball is a modified version of the traditional game that is fully inclusive allowing anyone to participate regardless of their age, fitness level, ability or previous netball experience. As the name implies, Walking Netball is a slower version of netball performed at a walking pace. Walking Netball has a strong emphasis on getting people participating in an enjoyable, safe environment rather than focusing on the competitive aspect.
