Walking Netball

                                       14.02.20

​

A coach and umpire secured , bibs and balls brought, emails sent and messages on FB posted we waited anxiously on Friday at Leatherhead Leisure Centre to see how many members would come along to the first coaching session of Walking Netball.  We were happy & overwhelmed when  31 members arrived to support this new WI activity.

We decided to invite other local WI members along and Ashtead did not disappoint with  14 members  arriving & 17 members form Butterflies both eager to learn a new skill.

​

Elaine ( our coach ) explained what the first session entailed and we started with a warm up , ball skills and then 3 minute games allowing everyone to have a go , followed by a cooling down. ... to experience going forward what to expect.

​

For some it was a challenge walking having played at school! Some members had never played so it was good to all start from the beginning with Walking Netball rules.

​

I hope those that came along whether or not you loved it or had reservations will give it another go .

​

Going forward we would like you to feel it is for all aspects of fitness ... either as a 'Wiggle & a Giggle ' or if you would like to be a little more competitive and are " In it to win it '( and would like to play league matches) 

​

Either way everyone is welcome and we hope to make this full of fun, friendship & fitness.
