New CPFC Foundation Fitter Fans course starts 18th June

jeudi 5 juin 2014

Crystal Palace FC Foundation has an interest to ensure it plays a part in the health and well-being in the local community and fan base, working in partnership with Football League Trust.



This programme concentrates on men’s health and well-being for over 40’s. In recent years we have worked with close to 200 fans and due to popular demand from external agencies, we are now welcoming men over the age of 40 from the local community who are committed to the programme.



We have two strands to the Eagle Fitter Fans Programme:

• 10 Week Introductory Programme

• Weekly Football Sessions



The 10 week introductory programme consists of a 2 hour weekly session free of charge.



Each session has an informative workshop and fitness session with a weigh in and waist measure. The workshops vary each week and are built around:

• Salts

• Sugars

• Fats

• Food Labels

• Smoking

• Alcohol Consumption

• Fluid Intake

• Physical Activity

• Q & A session with ex-player

• Men’s Health



The fitness sessions also vary, it may be:

• Swimming

• Circuits

• Walking Football

• Gym Inductions

• Goals 5-a-side

• Futsal



Once a participant has completed the 10 weeks, they are then given opportunity to attend the weekly football sessions at Goals Soccer Centre. The first two sessions are free and then a small contribution is payable. This session attracts over 40 participants who have all attended the 10 week introductory programme. They play 5-a-side football and have been known to enter small sided leagues as part of the on-going programme of living a healthy lifestyle through Crystal Palace FC Foundation.



As an added bonus, the social element allows you to meet new people with similar common interests of a similar age. It also gives an opportunity to volunteer at Fitter Fans as well as a chance to have a pitch presentation during a match day experience.



“Attending the 10 week programme has changed my life around, I now take notice of what I am eating and trying to stay healthy. I have recently got my bike fixed and am cycling everywhere instead of driving short distances! As a result, I have lost more weight than I imagined I could but most of all, I have enjoyed it!” - Fitter Fan



We are looking for men aged over 40’s, for the new cohort starting on Wednesday 18th, 7pm-9pm June for 10 weeks.
