Walking Basketball is a low impact, yet dynamic and fast paced way to enjoy basketball.

Games are played with five players per team on court for two 20-minute running clock periods. Points are scored per normal basketball scoring (2 points in the arc, and 3 points outside the arc). The differences are:

• No free throws. Instead on shooting fouls the team fouled is awarded two points if the basket misses, or an additional point for a made basket.
• Players cannot run. A fast walk is allowed but will be managed by the referees.
• No jumping. One foot must remain on the ground at all times.
• No dunking. Only exception is if you can dunk without a foot leaving the ground.
