What is Walking Netball?

Walking Netball is a relaxed, social version of the sport that is played at a walking pace where the rules are slightly tweaked. Sessions are run by specially trained hosts who run the activities and join in with all the fun and laughter.

Who is Walking Netball for?

Walking Netball has been designed so that anyone can play, regardless of age or fitness level.

From netballers who have previously dropped out of the sport due to injury, to those who believed they had hung up their netball trainers many years ago. Walking Netball can also give those who feel isolated an outlet, provide an activity for people who do not deem themselves fit enough to run anymore, and offer a stepping stone into netball for those who have never played before. Whoever you are, there is a place for you within Walking Netball

Benefits of Walking Netball

Walking Netball is an amazing community that is full of life and laughter. Physically and mentally, it makes you feel good, and is great for forming connections, and helping you stay active and healthy for longer.

Chester FC Walking Netball is open to anyone aged 16 or over, with all abilities welcome. Advance booking is essential and places can be booked here. If you’d like more information, email community@chesterfc.com.
