About
The UBC Emeriti/Seniors’ Sports Program focuses on modified small-sided games (e.g., walking soccer, walking basketball, and cricket 5s) and racquet sport opportunities (e.g., singles/doubles tennis, pickle ball, squash, badminton and table tennis). An integral part of the UBC Emeriti Seniors’ Sports Program will include post-activity coffee/tea/refreshment social. Programs will run May to September.
The ethos of the fun and challenging UBC Emeriti/Seniors’ Sports Program aligns with UBCs Wellbeing Strategic Framework and its six priority areas —Physical Activity, Mental Health and Resilience, Built and Natural Environments, Collaborative Leadership, Food and Nutrition and Social Connection. Caution: safety, ageing and sport - “Don’t play sport to get fit, get fit to play sport”.
Contact Harry Hubball at harry.hubball@ubc.ca if you are interested to play any of the seniors’ sports activities (listed above) and he will coordinate a participant list, sports committee, and potential UBC (or local) venues. Partners/Spouses/Coed participants most welcome.
