Walking football

A slower version of the game we all know. Walking football is the same as regular football but with a few rule changes such as no running and no contact. The game is perfect for those who are either returning from injury or those who have stopped playing the full version of the game due to their age.

To find Walking Football sessions available in Basingstoke visit the Hampshire FA’s website

Walking netball

A slowed down version of the game of netball, designed for anyone looking to exercise in a relaxed, supportive and friendly environment. It’s aimed at all ages and abilities.

Find out where local Walking Netball sessions are taking place on the Netball South website
