The Ah Ma Flippa Ball Team Is a Sign of Singapore’s Aging Population
This article details how Singapore is addressing its aging population by promoting active lifestyles for seniors. It focuses on the 'Ah Ma Flippa Ball' team, a group of women mostly in their 60s to 80s who play a modified version of water polo. This initiative, along with others like cheerleading and e-sports, is part of a government effort to help citizens age well, providing physical activity, social connection, and a sense of purpose.
Note
at home, i've spelled Ah Ma differently (aka, incorrectly), but i much prefer the two worded version in this article!
pools are quite the expense on a community, but they definitely return its value when you can get the engagement needed. those with older bones are a perfect fit.
