Walking sports open day

Walking sports are just what they sound like – versions of sports like football or cricket that follow the standard rules, but the players walk instead of run.

They are great if you want the fun of the game without the strenuous pace and intense contact.

Join us for a free open day and try 3 walking or low-impact sports: 

• walking football
• walking basketball
• pickleball (a paddle sport combining elements of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong using a paddle and plastic ball with holes).

Book in for either the first session or the second session and rotate through each of the sports via short taster sessions. Each taster session lasts 20 to 25 minutes and involves fun, skill-based games and drills, with any game play optional and non-contact.

First session: 10 to 11:30 am
Second session: 11:30 am to 1 pm

A complimentary morning/afternoon tea will be provided after each session.

Participants are advised to consult with their healthcare provider if they have or suspect they have a medical problem or any health risk factors before participating.
