S02E31 Walking Netball: Netball Is a Game for Life

Co-hosted by Leanne from Coached by Leanne, Carla takes a deep dive into Walking Netball, exploring why this version of the game is so much more than simply netball without the running and jumping. Alice Harvey, England Rose, Loughborough Lightning player and England Netball regional officer, shares her unique perspective on the growth of the sport, while Hazel McConnell reveals her own incredible Walking Netball journey and why she believes it really is a game for life. From returning after injury and finding new friendships to challenging stereotypes and creating opportunities for players of all ages, this episode celebrates everything that makes netball special.

Carla GareyA self-confessed netball addict, I’ve been playing for nearly 14 years and basically live and breathe the sport (my husband insists on calling it “a hobby,” but we all know better 😆).When I’m not on court, I’m running multiple businesses, wrangling my five kids, and squeezing 20 tasks into every day. I work at 100 miles an hour and get more done before lunch than most people manage all week, fuelled entirely by Diet Coke and donuts.
