You may think that the two ladies in this photo are doing the can-can, but they aren’t – they are warming up for a walking netball session!
The weekly sessions have been running at the Tommy Clucas Sports Hall, in Peel, since February and as part of their drive to encourage more people to take part, the Manx Netball Association is running a free taster session on Tuesday, June 14 from 10.30am to 11.45am.
Rachel Andrew, Isle of Man netball development officer, said: ‘The ladies really enjoy coming to the sessions and their netball skills have improved massively.
‘They have great fun being more active and are getting much fitter – in the beginning we were having rest breaks every five minutes but the ladies have improved so much that they are now moving around the court much more quickly and only having a couple of brief drink stops!
‘All sessions are rounded off with a hot cuppa so they are very social too!
‘Anyone wishing to give walking netball a go is very welcome to join us – all abilities can take part, with everyone only doing as much as they feel able to.’
