Erasmus+ Sport funded project Playful Ageing encourages social inclusion, equal opportunities and skills development through basketball. It also aim to increase participation in health enhancing physical activity through international grassroots tournaments.
Why basketball?
Basketball is one of the most attractive sports and therefore one of the most popular sports where we can improve our endurance, strength, agility, cognitive elements and other elements of all four dimensions of physical literacy (physical, psychological, cognitive and social). It represents a traditional form of physical activity, which is widely liked and enjoyed among general public.
About the project
Playful Ageing addresses the general objective of the Erasmus+ Programme – to support, through lifelong learning, the educational, professional and personal development of people in sport, in Europe and beyond.
The project will also revive basketball gyms and provide exercise opportunities using fun and attractive physical activity.
We will create an international network of local clubs, which will be the base of future cooperation in the promotion of physical activity and sport programs at local level.
This is the first international online platform, where local basketball clubs and volunteers will promote grassroots basketball tournament events.
