re you getting your 30 minutes of daily activity?
Australian health guidelines recommend adults aged 65+ stay active for at least 30 minutes a day.
Gateball is a fun, low-impact team sport played with a stick (mallet) and ball – perfect for all skill levels! Each game lasts 30 minutes and keeps you moving, thinking and connecting.
After 40 years in nursing with little time for sport, I made a promise to myself when I retired: try something new. I discovered Gateball through a Moreton Bay Regional Council Healthy & Active session, and I've never looked back!
Now I play in local, state and even national competitions, supported by a welcoming Gateball community.
Want to give it a go? Come and try Gateball – you might surprise yourself!
