    After the success in recent years of walking football, it seems other sports are developing their own versions and the latest to do so is netball.

    Earlier this morning I went down to Barons Fitness Centre in Scalby, near Scarborough to get instruction in the basics of walking netball.

    One of the first things to master is learning how to walk fast without breaking into a run (and looking a bit comical while you're at it!!):
