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. Perhaps you're recovering from injury, just had a baby, last played at primary school or college and want to ease back in, wish to learn to play for the first time, would like to stay active in a high-tempo yet low-impact way, get a bit fitter, remain mobile or just come along to meet new friends and have a laugh. Whatever your "why", we're happy to fill your need!
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!
To learn more, check us out mentioned in the media:
Rules are:

Flexibility vital as depending on numbers on the night means there may be more playing periods for shorter time.
