Young@Heart Walking Netball Returns to Poplar Baths
We were thrilled to see so many people in attendance for the return of our Young@ Heart Walking Netball programme. You can now join us every Monday from 12pm-1pm for community netball in the sports hall at Poplar Baths.
You can jump right in with sessions costing as little as £3.00 per person. Bookable via the Better UK App or via the link below.
What is it?
Walking Netball is a slower version of the game we all love; it is netball, but at a walking pace.
Women the length of the country have started playing Walking Netball for the fun, laughter and camaraderie the social session brings, as much as the health benefits on offer.
Who is it for?
Walking Netball 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, Walking Netball really is for everyone.
It can give those who feel isolated an outlet, provide an activity for those who do not deem themselves fit enough to run anymore and offer a stepping stone for those looking for a pathway back into netball.
What can I expect?
Walking Netball sessions are designed to be fun and flexible, and largely follow the same formats as any other netball session, including a warm-up, mini-games and drills followed by a friendly game.
You do not need any special kit to take part, just clothes that you feel comfortable exercising in and suitable footwear (ideally trainers that lace up) and make sure you bring some water to your session.
