Multisport walks

A multisport activity entitled “Multisport walks”.
The idea of such a multisport activity came during the lockdown and restrictions of Covid-19 pandemic and represents a support sport activity while schools are closed or when PE or other sport activities cannot be organized in schools.

The “Multisport walks” can be organized outdoors, in large spaces, with non-contact or individual contact, and be based on innovative activities, tasks accomplishment can be awarded, and can be focused on youth or kids with parents in order to raise the awareness of the project.
