Lifeball for Seniors
Our Lifeball Comp is the biggest in Regional NSW...
Lifeball is a fun team game that can be played on any flat surface
such as a netball court, basketball court or tennis court. This
ball game is played at walking pace and can be played by any age
group.
The game is similar to netball and basketball and incorporates
activities such as walking, passing and throwing to encourage physical
movement and team. Lifeball is a thinking game designed for skill,
fun and fitness. It has been specifically designed to promote physical
activity and falls injury prevention.
The idea of the game is for two opposing teams of up to 6 players
each, to have fun using teamwork to advance the ball to a spot where
a goal attempt can be made. Moving the ball from one end of the
court to the other can be achieved by walking the ball no more than
5 seconds before handing (from hand to hand) or passing (throwing)
the ball to a team mate.
In addition to the great team spirit and social interaction, Lifeball
also has many physical benefits. It improves balance, coordination,
strength, flexibility, mobility, and fitness. It really get the
circulation going and relieves stiffness. So Lifeball is great for
physical, mental and social health.
