About this Event
PALs (Physical Activity Leaders) is an initiative which trains older people how to lead sport and activity sessions in their local groups and communities.
Once you become a PAL you will be trained to lead activities like short exercise routines, fun games, simple dances and sports, like pitch and toss and bowling – in active retirement or community groups, like Irish Countrywomen’s Associations, Men’s Shed as well as local sports clubs or community centres.
How does it work?
Anyone training to become a PAL will need to attend six different workshops (five hours each, every Tuesday) and engage in both practical and theory work to ensure they receive all the knowledge and skills to lead their local group in physical activity. This initiative is free to participants and is delivered in partnership with Local Sports Partnerships or the HSE.
The PALs Workshops are:
- Basic Principles
- Sit Fit
- Better Balance
- Going Strong
- Rolling and Bowling and Pitching and Tossing
