It helps to maintain and improve health, and decrease risk factors associated with sedentary behaviour. Whether you played years ago and want to get back into it, have never touched a ball or want to try something less strenuous on the body, now is the time to give Central Coast Waves Walking Basketball a go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"p-rc_899ce709db947b12-169\">The Waves Walking Basketball program involves 45 minutes of Basketball related activity followed up with 15 minutes of socialising over complimentary tea, coffee and cupcakes. There is no running or jumping involved and is perfect for older players, those coming back from injury or just trying to avoid pressure on the joints. No prerequisites required, all we request is that you turn up and leave with a smile from ear to e<sup><\/sup>ar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"886\" data-id=\"9659\" src=\"https:\/\/onthecoastpublications.com.au\/onthecoastover55\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/04\/Screenshot_20251203_113640_Gallery-1024x886.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9659\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onthecoastpublications.com.au\/onthecoastover55\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/04\/Screenshot_20251203_113640_Gallery-1024x886.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/onthecoastpublications.com.au\/onthecoastover55\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/04\/Screenshot_20251203_113640_Gallery-300x259.jpg 300w, https:\/\/onthecoastpublications.com.au\/onthecoastover55\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/04\/Screenshot_20251203_113640_Gallery-768x664.jpg 768w, https:\/\/onthecoastpublications.com.au\/onthecoastover55\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/04\/Screenshot_20251203_113640_Gallery-585x506.jpg 585w, https:\/\/onthecoastpublications.com.au\/onthecoastover55\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/04\/Screenshot_20251203_113640_Gallery.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"872\" data-id=\"9658\" src=\"https:\/\/onthecoastpublications.com.au\/onthecoastover55\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/04\/Screenshot_20251203_113557_Gallery-1024x872.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9658\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onthecoastpublications.com.au\/onthecoastover55\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/04\/Screenshot_20251203_113557_Gallery-1024x872.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/onthecoastpublications.com.au\/onthecoastover55\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/04\/Screenshot_20251203_113557_Gallery-300x255.jpg 300w, https:\/\/onthecoastpublications.com.au\/onthecoastover55\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/04\/Screenshot_20251203_113557_Gallery-768x654.jpg 768w, https:\/\/onthecoastpublications.com.au\/onthecoastover55\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/04\/Screenshot_20251203_113557_Gallery-585x498.jpg 585w, https:\/\/onthecoastpublications.com.au\/onthecoastover55\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/04\/Screenshot_20251203_113557_Gallery.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Last year, the Central Coast Waves won the Grand final of the 2025 Australian Masters Games defeating the Canberra Muskets 50\u201331.
