Senior Sports News is all about "Ageing Healthy and Fit" in a programme that includes fitness tests, sports, game and group lessons for free. Once again, it becomes apparent how valuable this method is! More than 80% have decided to become a member of the sports club Hart op Tempo in September, and, this is a nice way for us to keep the project going. On Tuesday November 8, the next “Ageing Healthy and Fit – fittest” will take place for the villages of Oranjedorp and Nieuw-Dordrecht.
