Program Details
Name
Playing Catch (Throwing a Baseball/Softball)
Description

The classic father-son activity can be introduced as an activity in your community! Having residents spend time throwing a baseball between themselves has enumerable benefits, and it's lots of fun! Residents are outside, enjoying the fresh air first of all. Secondly, throwing a baseball is great physical activity that works the muscles in the hands, shoulders and arms. It also trains residents' balance and hand-eye coordination. Finally, it provides an opportunity for socialization all the while being Covid-friendly by allowing easy social distancing! Procuring a few baseballs and baseball gloves is affordable as well, especially if used!
