✦VI · Health of the island

Island in motionChildren, families and residents of Pag move together through open trainings and activities all over the island.

The island feels most alive when people meet outdoors — on a playground, by the sea, on the way to training or in a small village filled with children and footballs for an afternoon. Island in Motion brings activities closer to people, using NK Pag’s experience to help more children, families and residents find their reason to move.

Why this initiative exists

We are launching the initiative because a healthier island starts with small habits that people can share.

Some places lack regular sports facilities, families struggle to coordinate transportation, and many people are looking for an easy and enjoyable way to get back on their feet. From autumn 2026, NK Pag wants to go beyond Julovica through open training sessions, recreational meetings and activities adapted to different generations.

More movement, healthy habits and meetings all over the island
every place on the island can have its own day for movement and socializing.
What we want to change

Movement becomes closer, more accessible and connected to the people we meet every day.

Programs will be created together with places, schools, associations and local people. Somewhere it will be children's training, somewhere a family sports day, light exercise, walking or recreational football.

01
the result

Activities come closer to people

Coaches and associates organize open sessions in different locations to make the first step easy and close to home.

02
the result

Movement connects generations

Children, parents, young people and the elderly get opportunities for joint activities, socializing and creating healthier habits.

03
the result

The island gets a common sports rhythm

A calendar of activities connects different places and ends with meetings where people come together again around sport and community.

Implementation model

We listen to each venue, choose the format that suits it and build a program that people can come back to.

The moving island will develop gradually. The first activities will show which locations, dates and contents suit people the most, and then we will build a more regular rhythm.

Island in motion

From an idea to a system that can last.

01

We connect with local people

Schools, associations, parents and local representatives help to understand who the program is intended for and what would really attract people.

02

We bring activity to the place

We organize open training, a sports day or a recreational meeting adapted to the space and age of the participants.

03

We build a habit through repetition

Where there is interest, we arrange new dates and a simple schedule that people can fit into their lives.

04

We bring the island together through common days

Participants from different places meet at Julovica or other locations through days of sports, games and socializing.

A measurable goal

From autumn 2026, we want to start the first island cycle of activities and pave the way for a program that will grow from year to year.

We'll see success in people coming back, kids finding sports they love, and places getting new life through movement.

VI · Health of the island

When one place is activated, a part of the whole island is also activated.

The island in motion wants to combine health, play and socializing in a program that belongs to everyone who calls Pag home, even if only for part of the year.

Each initiative solves another part of the same task: to build a stronger, more open and sustainable club by 2027.

Choose a piece of Pag that carries your story

I Ja Volin Pag

Everyone has their own Pag: a childhood home, the first bura they remember, a favourite cove, a stone by the sea or Julovica, where they first pulled on the shirt. I Ja Volin Pag gives everyone a place to find their piece of the island, leave a few words and help today’s children create memories of their own with NK Pag.

A business club of people who want to build something valuable together

A club that connects

Many people connected to Pag have knowledge, experience, ideas or the ability to help, but their paths rarely cross. The Club That Connects is a shared table where we meet, exchange what we know and start projects that can improve everyday life for children, the club and the island.

Lifestyle merch that speaks the language of Pag

Paške besede

Some words take you home in an instant. You hear them and feel the bura, the stone, summer, the family table or the voice of someone who always said them in their own way. Paške besede turns those words into contemporary products with the character of the island and NK Pag — shirts, posters and small pieces of home you can carry far beyond Julovica.
