After the successful launch of walking football earlier this year, The Holbrook Club have partnered with Horsham District Council to introduce walking basketball to the area. The sport will expand our growing programme of activities designed for people aged over 50 years old.
Three sessions on Wednesday 20th April, 4th May and 11 May from 12pm-1pm. Sessions charged at £5 each or £10 for all three. £4 each or £8 for all three for Holbrook Club members or LAC holders.
Everyone has seen the Barclays television adverts that have sparked interest in and popularised walking football as an activity for people aged 50+ to stay active, socialise and have fun but less people will be aware that a number of other sports have developed walking versions to engage older participants too. Basketball is one of these that has led to a number of sessions starting up around the country and Horsham is set to get in on the act.
For further information about walking basketball please contact Ian Ford on Ian.ford@horsham.gov.uk or 07764 146 338
