Financed by Sport e Salute spa, the project "Who plays first base?" is aimed at boys, girls and pre-adolescents (from 3 to 14 years of age) to offer opportunities for free sports practice aimed at developing basic motor skills (such as swimming, running and functional gymnastics skills) .
OVERALL OBJECTIVE:
Counteract, prevent and reduce the sedentary lifestyle, obesity, isolation and psycho-social discomfort of the reference target, through the offer of opportunities for free sports practice aimed at developing basic motor skills (swimming, gymnastics and pre-athletics), on the whole national territory aimed at the youth target (children and pre-adolescents), thus contributing also to the reduction of health risks.
