Netball - my knees!

[LoudingVoice]

Was excited recently to spot a local netball team looking for new players, haven’t played since uni but thought I’d give it a go.

But oh my life every time I play my right knee is agony for days afterwards, I’m worried I’m doing myself more harm than good

Anyone else had this? Is it just because I’m not used to it yet or am I buggering myself up here?

Pain like that is bad
I'd be minded to see a physio
They'll almost certainly say to drop the netball until it's sorted

It may be that if you do sone strength abs and balance work you can fix it but netball , running, jumping and direction switching , is hard on the knees if there is damage in there

damage doesn't mean you'll never play again - but it can be a long hard road to get there

Maybe see if you can find a walking netball club, just as much fun but no running or jumping and an extra step is allowed when you have the ball to ease the pressure on the joints when having to stop or change direction
