Walking Cricket brings participants back to a sport that was once loved, helping them to connect with the past and catch up with former teammates, 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.
For people new to the game, they’ll discover that it’s a very social game filled with team spirit and fun, playing in teams and pairs when batting, will bring partnerships and hopefully friendship. Everything is walking, including the ‘runs’ and fielding, and a match lasts 90 minutes, helping players to meet a substantial portion of the weekly guidelines for moderate activity that also incudes strength, balance, flexibility, and coordination.
Equipment is specialised for health and safety reasons and usability – using plastic bats, stumps and light synthetic balls.
