Central Coast Waves basketballers headed to the Hills Hornets basketball stadium in Castle Hill on March 19 to take part in the Hills Hornets Walking Basketball Club Challenge.
Four associations took part in the challenge – Hills Hornets, Illawarra Hawks, Bankstown Bruins and the Central Coast Waves.
Both the Hornets and the Waves provided two teams each.
Waves Basketball entered an over-60s team and an under-60s team with the latter making it to the final but narrowly going down to the Hawks 20-18 in an entertaining game.
Walking basketball is designed for participants across all ages, genders and abilities.
It helps to maintain and improve health and decrease risk factors associated with sedentary behaviour.
Waves Community Coach Chris Collins said the club challenge was a huge success and the club was looking forward to taking part in future challenges.
“The Waves have a very strong focus on inclusion, so it was great to see such a high representation from our Waves Walking Basketball community,” he said.
“It was also great to see so many new friendships formed throughout the day.”
