The CARC Senior Fitness Club group is enjoying the weather and will play pickleball on Tuesday, March 5, 2024! This is an incredibly encouraging group and perfect for beginners. It’s a great way to get the necessary physical activity minutes we need. Experts say we need 2 hours and 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity weekly to maintain our well-being!
They have extra rackets and play around 10:00 a.m. at the Town Park on Miller Street in Grantsville.
If you can’t make it to Grantsville, try to get outside and enjoy a walk!
Our generous partner, CareFirst, has funded the Population Innovation & Informatics Unit to increase access to fitness opportunities to help improve the health & well-being of Garrett County In our second year of funding, we asked community members to apply for small awards to help us collectively accomplish our goal. On behalf of the Senior Health & Fitness Club at the CARC, Brooke McConnell applied to purchase portable pickleball nets and paddles that community members can utilize This is truly a grassroots effort led by community members. It’s great when a plan combines funding, infrastructure, volunteers, and the passion to create inclusive opportunities!

I am sure it is great exercise!
Wonderful weather for outdoor exercise! Thank you!
Sounds like great exercise.
Loving the warmer weather, getting more walks in.
I play pickleball with friends of all ages, and last year in a tournament with a partner of 85 years old!! Never say it’s too late 🙂
Do you have to be 60 or older to participate with the Senior Fitness Club pickleball events?
This sounds fun!
Perfect weather for this fun activity.
Sounds interesting
I kind of laugh so what happened to tennis?
Sounds like fun!
Thanks to Care First !
Will the portable nets and paddles be available to sign out to use? What a great idea! Spread the fun!
