NORTHSIDE We’re Okay Youth Initiative is to run a new football through fitness programme involving Sunderland AFC.
The eight-week programme for men over 18 provides an opportunity to develop fitness and health through work in the gym and football training. This will be run in partnership with the FAI, Limerick City Sports Partnership and the HSE.
“This programme primarily aims to create awareness around men’s health and fitness. We have also secured the services of the high profile English Premiership side Sunderland AFC to run a week long soccer camp, with the support of LIT, as part of the overall programme,” said community drugs worker, Daniel Butler.
This programme is for men living in the areas of Moyross, Ballynanty, Thomondgate, Kileely and Caherdavin on the Northside.
Fitness Through Football starts Monday October 4, and those interested can apply by contacting Daniel Butler at Northside We’re OK, before October 1.
