Walking Netball has evolved from a growing demand for walking sports. Often, one of netball’s strengths is that people never forget playing the sport and the memories as well as the love for the game never leave.
The Belles this Spring/Summer were delighted to be offered the opportunity to play Walking Netball under the fantastic and experienced coaching of England Netball approved coach and Dawnay sports’ teacher Linda Scrase.
Every Tuesday evening from 7.40 to 8.40pm at The Dawnay School the Belles have been practising and playing their hearts out. The club aims to continue on into the Autumn/winter to an indoor venue and even hopes to enter into local competitions. We would love to have new members join, the more the merrier; anyone can play as it is suitable for all ages and a great way of keeping fit.
Walking Netball is a slower version of the game; it is netball, but at a walking pace.
The game has been designed so that anyone can play it regardless of age or fitness level. From those who have dropped out of the sport they love due to serious injury, to those who believed they had hung up their netball trainers many years ago,it really is for everyone.
Women the length of the country have begun playing the game of Walking Netball for the fun, laughter and camaraderie the social session brings, as much as the health benefits on offer. It can give those who feel isolated an outlet, provide an activity for those who don’t deem them
selves fit enough to run anymore and offer a stepping stone for those looking for a pathway back into netball.
