Activities

Pilates and Aerobics

The Pilates Method is a physical training system developed in the early 20th century by the German Joseph Pilates. It combines elements from gymnastics, traumatology, ballet and yoga.

Pilates focuses on strengthening the core muscles that help maintain body balance and support the spine. The exercises emphasize breathing awareness, spinal alignment and strengthening of the deep torso muscles to help prevent back pain.

Basketball

Wednesday afternoons in Port de la Selva are dedicated to basketball. Due to the small number of players each year, forming competitive teams is difficult. The solution was to collaborate with the nearby team Grifeu-Llançà.

Training sessions are organized for all ages and levels. Basketball is played by both children and adults, and when a player shows higher potential, they can join the Grifeu team.

Participation continues to grow, which shows the project is working well.

Table Tennis

The sports hall has a table tennis table, rackets and balls available for use.

Fitness for adults

Physical exercise is structured and planned activity aimed at improving or maintaining physical fitness. Regular physical activity is an important public health objective because it helps prevent many chronic diseases.

Childhood and adolescence are key stages for developing the habit of regular physical exercise.

Futsal

Futsal is played between two teams of five players and is derived from football, incorporating elements from sports such as water polo, volleyball, handball and basketball.

The court is between 24 and 28 metres long and 13 to 15 metres wide.

Sports and children's activities

PàdelPORT

Using a paddle racket and adapting the available space, we play short-court paddle inside the sports hall. A net divides the court and players pass the ball back and forth.

It is an excellent aerobic activity that develops speed, coordination and physical fitness. It is also ideal for practicing indoors during windy, rainy or cold days.

Walking group – “Camina-camina”

Cardiovascular diseases remain one of the main causes of mortality in industrialized countries. Many studies show that regular physical activity reduces this risk.

Walking 30 minutes a day is one of the best options.

Walking helps reduce:

• Diabetes risk

Participants meet once or twice a week for one-hour walks, followed by stretching and social interaction.

Participants are advised to bring water for hydration.

These events have also encouraged families to participate together in outdoor activities.
