50+ Multi Sports Sessions
Four 50+ Multi Sports sessions started week commencing 6th October. Each one lasts for 2 hours and includes a sport plus one other type of physical activity which will change every six weeks. The aim is to allow older people to experience a variety of sport and physical activities that they may not have tried before. Following the six week introductory period the participants will be provided with details of local clubs and classes that they can attend to continue with their chosen activity if they so wish.
The sessions will take place at:
- Oxford Park Sports Centre - Friday 10.30am - 12.30noon
- Copley Leisure Centre - Saturday 12noon - 2pm
- Medlock Leisure Centre - 1pm - 3pm

All sessions are free charge.
