It was wonderful to meet and participate during Sporttasting on May 23!
On Friday, May 23, the Sports Tasting 55+, organized by “Fit in Wassenaar” took place at Sportpark de Schulpwei. In the Blauw Zwart canteen, all participants could indicate their choices for the workshops. A diverse range of sports was prepared by local sports and exercise providers from Wassenaar, from jeu de boules to volleyball and walking football. Alderman Koetsier opened this afternoon and more than 40 participants moved and met each other.
Strengthening sports clubs
In two rounds of 45 minutes, the participants had an easy experience of what a particular sport is like, with the aim of possibly joining one of the clubs on a structural basis. In total there were 5 outdoor activities and 5 indoor activities. We thank the following providers for the collaboration: Blauw Zwart, WVV, WPC, WOB, BC Wassenaar, Rozenstein Golf Club, Stigter Group, Hodomtioek and Art of Balance.
Sport connects and combats loneliness
Of course, the social aspect was also central. Between the workshops there was room for a healthy snack and a cup of coffee or tea in the canteen to talk about the activity. Response from one of the participants“What a well-organized afternoon, where we met new people and tried out different sports, I will definitely be there next time!”.
