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...
- last played at school and want to ease back in
- recovering from injury or surgery
- just had a baby
- 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!
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!
Rules are:
- Participants must be over 18 years of age
- No running or jumping - one foot must be on the ground at all times
- Player can hold the ball for up to 4 seconds
- When in competitive-mode, maximum of three males on courts at any one time - one in the defence circle area, one in the mid-court area and one in the shooting circle area. Otherwise all-play, any position available.
- All other standard netball rules apply
No uniforms necessary & bibs are supplied.
Teams are compiled on the night so just turn up!
Short games/quarters of no more than 10 minutes with rolling subs allowed as required.
Flexibility vital - depending on numbers each night, there may be more playing periods for shorter time.
All genders, all ability/disability most welcome.
Come and try as a wee taster - with any luck you'll get hooked!
