STRENGTH & BALANCE​​​​​​​

What Our Strength and Balance Team Does

Our Strength and Balance team works to reduce falls and improve wellbeing for older people in our community.

We focus on increasing access to safe, evidence-based strength and balance programmes led by trained providers. These programmes help build muscle strength, improve stability, and support people to stay active, independent, and confident in their everyday lives.​​​​​​​

Village Games Day

Sport Northland recently hosted the Village Games, an annual event that brings local retirement villages together for a day of friendly competition.

Teams competed across 10 activities, including bowling, noughts and crosses, Jenga, tennis darts, football shots, league passes, athletics, boccia, SNAG golf and basketball. The activities were designed to encourage movement and try new sports which are adapted for older athletes.

The continuing success of the Village Games highlights the value of staying active, socially connected, and engaged with others.
