It's a chance to dust off those trainers, get back onto court and play the sport you love at a slightly slower pace. That's exactly what the 20 or so members of the Gorleston walking netball group have been doing, although for some, remembering to walk instead of run has been a little harder than anticipated.
The sessions, open to people from Great Yarmouth, Lowestoft, Beccles and beyond, are designed to offer a way back into netball for those who were forced to stop playing competitively due to an injury, or decided to hand in their bib as they got a little older.
There are now eight walking netball sessions offered throughout Norfolk, with 22-year-old Libby Gates behind the group that meets every Saturday morning at Gorleston's Lynn Grove Academy. Libby, who plays, coaches and umpires, said: "It's aimed at those who are over 50 who used to play netball, to give them a way back into it, and also those who are looking for something new to try. There's a good social side to it too."
