Just been approached by the captain of the local football team, who also runs a very popular walking football team.

He wanted to know if I would set up a Walking Netball team. I said I'd get back to him.

Just wondering if it's something GNetters would play if one existed near you? hmm

I play every Monday lunchtime at the University of Essex and it's great fun.

Yes, I would love to play, but would still be rubbish at it, as I was at school!

Ooh I'd love to do that. There's Walking Footie in my area.

tanith Sat 19-Nov-16 17:21:41

I would too.

Wow! That's very positive. Might be persuaded

I would have a go.

I would. Is jumping allowed?

TriciaF Sat 19-Nov-16 18:46:42

Me too, I loved netball, played Centre attack, or whatever it's called now. Do you get sent off for running? Not much chance of that with me though.

Like shysal I was rubbish at school but I would love to have a go at this as at the moment I am completely unable to run.

I loved netball, I'd sign up for this. Anyone in Gloucestershire?

kittylester Sat 19-Nov-16 20:21:21

I'd love to do it. We have walking football here, which Dh intends to join, but no netball!

mumofmadboys Sat 19-Nov-16 20:25:42

I used to love netball. I would love to have a chance to play walking netball.

No running and no jumping, but you can take an extra second holding the ball and an extra step. You still need the skills but not so much speed and stamina.

Thanks for the link GK
I have emailed to register my interest in playing at Hexham smile

I've just joined a local walking netball class in Offerton, Stockport on a Thursday morning. I wish there was more than one session available in my area as it was great fun. I've checked Trafford and Cheshire East local authority areas as I can also get to those places easily but the don't run sessions.

Pleased you enjoyed it Louise I live in Hazel Grove but no remote possibility of me joining you. Exercise and me are not acquainted.
