Walking Basketball is a low-impact, social, and fun way for people of all ages, genders, and abilities to stay active. Developed by Basketball Victoria, the program focuses on fitness, skill development, and community engagement in a non-competitive environment.
How It Works
Each session at Nunawading Basketball includes:
-
Stretching & Warmups – dribbling, passing, and mobility exercises
-
Skill Drills – low-impact drills tailored to all participants
-
Game Play – slower-paced basketball with regular breaks and encouragement
Our emphasis is on fun, support, and social connection, making it perfect for:
-
Older adults looking to maintain health and fitness
-
Individuals returning from injury
-
Anyone looking for a welcoming, inclusive basketball experience
Social & Community Focus
After each session, participants go downstairs to enjoy a complimentary tea or coffee at Moon & Spoon Cafè at Forest Hill Chase Shopping Centre.
This social component is required by Basketball Victoria and helps foster relationships between participants and build community.
