Introduction to PALs Workshop (Physical Activity Leaders)
Want to lead fun, active sessions in your group or community?
Join Age & Opportunity’s – Introduction to PALs – workshop
This is a free one-day introductory workshop that gives you a taste of what’s involved in training as a PAL. Before committing to a full 6-week PALs initiative, this introductory session offers a hands-on overview of being a PAL. You’ll learn what the role involves and experience some fun activities, games and movements taken from each of the 6 workshops – all in a single, engaging morning session. You do not need any background or formal experience in physical exercise you just need enthusiasm and an interest in leading fun activities in your local group.
