England Netball are working with the National Federation of WI’s aiming to set up walking netball groups across the country.

Groups taking up walking netball will be supported with equipment, training sessions and provided with a dedicated host to run the first 20 sessions.

Newquay-based Beaches and Cream’s first Walking Netball session was attended by 19 members. After a warm up, including lunges and stretches they were ready to play. Walking Netball involves no running, jogging or jumping for the ball, so is a gentle and low impact activity.

WI members who are interested in introducing their club to walking netball can find out more by contacting [email protected].
