It's never too late to try something new!
This adapted version of netball was introduced in England and is aimed at ladies and gents aged 18+ who love netball yet may like to try a quick-paced yet not-so-hard-on-the-joints version of the game.
In this modified game timing, ball-placement, pass selection and space is crucial. You'll be forced to rethink tactics given you can't just simply out-run or out-jump your opponent. Great dodges and thoughtful positioning become your go-to tools instead. Don't let the name fool you... you'll soon work up a sweat!
Perfect if you...
- last played at school and want to ease back in
- are recovering from injury or surgery
- just had a baby
- are learning to play for the first time
- would like to stay active in a high-tempo yet low-impact way
- want to get a bit fitter
- wish to remain mobile
- keen to meet new people and have a laugh...
Whatever your "why", we're happy to fulfil your need!
