Walking Netball
Walking netball along with other Walking Sports are being launched across Cambridgeshire. The sports sessions are ideal for people wanting to start something new or who may be returning from injury. Walking netball will allow you to start gently and build up gradually. Regular weight-bearing exercise helps keep bones strong and by playing Walking Netball, there is no running and jumping and therefore no impact.
Being active is so important but finding the right activity is just as important. Walking netball is played in a fun environment and ideal for people who love team sports and would like to try something different.
Weekly sessions are occurring at the following Histon & Impington Recreation Ground, on Mondays 10:30-11:30 am
