We Australians have always loved our sport, but it’s easy to get too busy or too caught up in life’s many distractions to keep active as we age.
In our 30s, we get married and start a family… in our 40s, we concentrate on consolidating our financial future through work. But in our 50s and 60s when we gain a few more free hours once the kids leave home, it’s time to get back to whatever our favourite sport is, tune up both body and mind AND make new friends! There’s now a new, easy and inexpensive way to do just that.
You may have heard of ‘social networking’ web sites… all the kids are on MySpace or Facebook. These are all about capturing people in front of a computer for as long as possible while they connect with new people and “talk” to their existing friends. However a new Australian site – DoubleDrummer.com – helps people connect through their favourite sport… and then encourages them to go ‘out of site’ and get active.
You can choose from over 580 different sports and activities – from bushwalking to badminton and all the favourites… like tennis, fishing, golf and swimming. Join the community for free and you can then search for people of your age, gender, standard and other shared interests in your local area.
There are no joining or membership fees… once you find someone who matches your search, you pay just $1 to make contact and after that, it’s up to you to swap details and stay in touch.
In time, Double Drummer will also enable you to connect with everything you need to stay active… clubs, coaches, social groups and of course, physios. … (very important once you hit 50!) – and offer you special deals and exclusive offers on a whole range of sport-related services.
So if you’d like to get active again or stay fit and healthy, check out this new site while it’s running a special launch promotion that gets you two contacts free of charge, plus the chance to win coaching lessons in the sport of your choice. Go to http://www.doubledrummer.com/ today.
