Walking Netball 2024

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is an emerging version of netball, designed to reduce impact on the joints, help with rehabilitation from injury or to reintroduce those who haven't played netball in a while.

What's Walking Netball about?

Walking Netball is a modified version of the game that provides less impact than traditional netball, and is perfect for those returning to the game, recovering from injury, or simply just wanting a relaxed version of the game.


Rules of Walking Netball: 

The rules of Walking Netball are the same as International Netball Rules except for the following:

  • A player must have one foot in contact with the court at all times, this means no running or jumping is allowed
  • A player may receive the ball with one foot grounded and then take two steps while in possession of the ball before it is thrown or shot
  • A player may hold the ball for 4 seconds before passing or shooting 
  • Games consist of 4 x 10 minute quarters with 1 minute between quarters
