Did you enjoy playing rounders at school? If so you’ll love a game of Walking Cricket.
Walking Cricket is a very social sport, filled with team spirit and fun.
Walking Cricket is the sport you love, just played at a slower pace – so it’s perfect for people who are older, or less physically able, but who still want to enjoy the thrill of the game. Walking Cricket involves a team of six to eight players (three to four pairs). Everything is walking, including the ‘runs’ and fielding, and a soft ball is also used.
So, whether you’re batting, bowling or fielding, it’s a great form of cardio exercise. Plus it improves both agility and hand-eye coordination.
A number of Provincial Unions offer Walking Cricket programmes, so get in touch with them now. Contact a Provincial Union now.
