Today is your day Boomer! We know walking is good for you Boomers, but how about walking soccer? Yup, we take the most popular game in the world and bring it down to a level where many seniors can now participate! One person involved is James Stitchman(the guy in the picture) who jokingly says "I'm the only player on the field today I think who ended up with about 11 yellow cards or warnings for running." I get that....you get excited and that ball is so close and you want to score, so you run a bit. Not allowed. Okay, so this game--only offered so far in North Vancouver, BC--is not for everyone.....especially, very fit, youngish Boomers. But think of the growing popularity of pickleball; it is a slowed-down version of tennis on a smaller court. And the medical benefits of walking soccer? According to CBC News, "playing walking soccer can bring numerous benefits — from reducing blood pressure and blood sugar levels, to improving people's mental health through socializing." There is a problem though as related by another player named Linda: "[I'm] a little worried about those 60-year-olds who are going to be a lot faster than me because I'm almost 73." Hmmmmm, yup, those young Boomers could dominate this game! Oh well, just have some fun and get some good exercise. Cheers!
