To encourage more people to get involved in sport and be more active BH Live is launching Walking Netball at Mountbatten Leisure Centre, Portsmouth.
Walking netball is a slower version of the game suitable for anyone to play regardless of age or fitness level; from those who have dropped out of the sport due to injury or those who believed they had hung up their netball trainers many years ago.
A launch session will run at Mountbatten Leisure Centre on Monday 4 June 2018 between 11-12noon and will be free for all to attend.
It will then run on Mondays (excluding bank holidays) on a £3 per session pay-as-you-go basis.
BH Live is working with England Netball to deliver the sessions and is encouraging people of all ages and abilities to give it a go.
Book onto the sessions by calling Mountbatten Leisure Centre on 02393 200 401 and find out more other activities at bhliveactive.org.uk.
