From this summer, an active group of older ladies will play sports in the Community Center. This is done under the supervision of a physiotherapist with the right knowledge and skills regarding exercise in old age. Every Monday at 10 am there are about 20 ladies who enjoy taking part in the class, each at their own level. Attention is also paid to fall prevention and muscle and fitness maintenance. Would you also like to join?
At the Neighborhood Association K&O we had been looking for someone for a long time who could provide these lessons for the elderly in Kerkehout, but this was not that easy! The solution came from the Fit project in Wassenaar! Fit in Wassenaar is the local implementation of the National Sports and Prevention Agreement. We have joined as a neighborhood association and have entered into a partnership with the Zorgpraktijk Wassenaar, the practice where the physiotherapist works.
The organization of these weekly lessons is supported by two members of the Neighborhood Association: Mrs. Betty van Kooy and Mrs. Tinie de Jongste. As a Board, we are very happy and grateful for the efforts of these volunteers!
The group is getting bigger, there is a lot of enthusiasm in the neighborhood. And that is very nice, because we think it is great to be able to contribute to the fitness of our neighborhood in this way! Are you interested in participating in sports?
