City College Plymouth

Plymouth Raiders are aiming to keep older members of the community in shape and combat loneliness with a new initiative.

The British Basketball League club have teamed up with students from City College Plymouth to launch Active Aging.

The initiative is supported by the National Lottery Community Fund and it allows older members of the community to play walking basketball.
The sport is becoming more popular with people of all ages and in Plymouth it will be Raiders Coach Paul Nicholson leading the sessions.

Tuesday – play will last for about 45 minutes, after which participants are invited to enjoy conversation over coffee and cake.

Thursday sessions will include a light lunch. The post-game refreshments will be served in the College’s PL1 restaurant by hospitality and catering students.
