We support and encourage each other on and off court. I on a personal note have not played netball for just over 20 years due to an injury, and walking netball was the perfect way to get back into it. We have an amazing coach who is very up on her safety regarding injuries and our hour sessions are full of fun enjoyed by all.”

“Our Senior Circuits class is fun, different each week and a real morale booster. I’m now even moved to do a few exercises at home each day!”
