Thought Your Sporting Days Were Over?         Think Again!

Murrumbidgee Local Health District (MLHD) is looking for men aged 65 and older to participate in a research pilot. We provide exercise classes for older adults across the MLHD area including Albury, but unfortunately very few men attend. Men have told us they want an exercise that is team based, is competitive, and Men Only so we are conducting a Walking Basketball pilot for 12 weeks. We will also conduct research to determine whether Walking Basketball is a feasible exercise activity and can provide health benefits. 

Games will run on Mondays at 9:30am at Albury PCYC in Keene St. starting on September 15. Registrations close on September 7. No experience is necessary and there is no cost. Also, a free morning tea will be available after every game. You can register via the QR Code below or collect a registration form and research information from PCYC. All men aged 65 and over and living in the Albury area are welcome. 

For more information, please contact Adelle on 0484 932 389.
