Walking Netball Rules 

Walking Netball follows the standard netball rules with a few modifications to reduce the risk of injury. These modified rules are highlighted below with extra alternatives that can be made if desired:

Players must always have one foot placed on the ground throughout the game.

Each player can take 1-2 steps from when they gain possession until they pass or shoot the ball.

A player can keep possession of the ball for up to 4 seconds before they must pass or shoot.

A player must be at least 3 feet away from the opposition player when defending.

Substitutions can be made at quarter, half or three-quarter time.

Alternative: Substitutions can also be made throughout play.


The centre pass will be taken as per the usual netball rules with this alternating between the Centre of each team. 

Alternative: The centre pass can be taken by the opposite team to the last goal scored.
These rules allow anyone, of any age, ability or fitness level to participate!
