NEWCOMB Football Club will be running free community fitness sessions for children, teens and adults once the state’s latest lockdown finishes.<\/p>\n
Junior Football co-ordinator Scott Smith said one of their coaches, Adam Bell, was a qualified personal trainer and would be running the sessions.<\/p>\n
“Physical activity is a vital component for mental health and with all the stop-start from lockdowns this is one way we can help the community,” Scott said. “Sessions begin on Wednesday, September 8, and are being run on the top oval.”<\/p>\n
Community fitness sessions for 7-10 year olds will run from 5pm to 5.30pm, 10 to 14 year olds will run from 5.30pm to 6.15pm and 14-plus between 6.15pm and 7pm.<\/p>\n
Scott said parents were welcome to walk laps of the oval instead if they didn’t want to join in on the sessions.<\/p>\n
“We might have to put it back a week or two, depending on restrictions, but we can keep everyone updated through our Facebook page,” he said.<\/p>\n
“I believe the program is more essential than ever due to the lockdown.<\/p>\n
“Active body, healthy mind.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
