Recorded live at the ATSA Independent Living Expo in Adelaide, this episode features a lively conversation with Bryn Lewis from Basketball SA, exploring the growing popularity of walking basketball and why it is opening the game to more people than ever before.

Bryn explains how walking basketball removes the barriers of running and jumping while keeping everything that makes basketball fun. Played at a slower pace with modified rules, lower rings and a lighter ball, the sport welcomes players aged from their 40s through to their 80s and beyond. It is one of the few sports where grandparents and grandchildren can share the same court, and stay active together.

We hear how walking basketball supports people living with disability, those returning to sport after injury, and anyone encouraged by a doctor or physio to keep moving in a safe, low‑impact way. Bryn also highlights the strong social side of the program, from post‑game coffees to the sense of connection and community that keeps players coming back each week.

Whether you are looking for gentle exercise, social connection, or a way to fall back in love with basketball without the bruises, this episode shows why walking basketball is proving to be a game changer.
