No matter our age, we are all ageing every day.

We should not stop moving as we get old, instead we get old once we stop moving. Keep moving and stay active is the key to prevent accidents and injuries. Sports can keep you healthy, happy, and bring you new friends. No matter how old you are, start exercising today!

Our project “Sports for Change – Active Ageing, Happy Ageing” aims to connect seniors with the community through sports. We serve seniors of different fitness levels: sedentary, lightly active and active seniors. We partner with experienced coaches, trainers and sports lovers who are passionate in serving the community. We organize different levels of exercise experiences and trainings, including home visit with exercise sessions, weekly elderly bootcamp, seniors running and yoga classes, all targeting to improve the seniors’ muscle strength, coordination, body balance and cardio in order to keep them healthy and avoid accidents and injuries.

Sports is not just for the body, it helps waking up inactive muscles, and thus reinforcing the brain-body connection. It trains up the bodies, as well as the brains. Once the seniors have acquired the skills, knowledge, habit and confidence to try different sports, they can achieve higher goals in races and in life.
We believe it is easier to build up a friendly long-term relationship with the elderly through sports and gradually improve their physical, mental and social well-beings. We encourage seniors who stay at home most of the time to step out of their door and join our weekly bootcamp at the park, and motivate those participating in the bootcamp training to take a step forward and start running.
We believe that the seniors can, through guided and safe trainings, set and achieve goals that once seemed far and impossible to them (for example take part in running events). Being fit, staying positive and connected to the community is the key to age gracefully.
