Yoga and Pilates fitness

Drop-in sports descriptions

All of our gymnasium programs are drop-in, no need to pre-register to enjoy the fun! You must be 13 years or over to attend. View gymnasium drop in programs.

We offer two ways to play based on your skill and comfort level; recreational and competitive. Recreational play is the best option for those new to the game or looking to play casually. If you’re looking to play a more serious and competitive game with other players that have higher skill levels, we offer competitive game time in our gymnasium. High skill level players are welcome to join the recreational games, but asked to be respectful of other players who may be new to the sport.  

Basketball

Depending on the size and interests of the group, the court might be split (half for shooting and drills, half for game play). You’ll have to work together to cooperate to determine how and when to split the court as needed.

Badminton

Bring your friends and enjoy playing badminton on our beautiful hardwood floor gymnasium. There are two nets, racquets and birdies available. You’ll work together to ensure that everyone gets fair playing time and that equipment is shared as needed. 

Pickle Ball

Pickleball is a ‘tennis like’ racquet game played with four people on a badminton sized court. Light weight paddles are used to rally a larger-type wiffle ball over a low net. It is a great way to stay moving, work on hand-eye coordinator, and have fun too! There are two nets available. Paddles and balls are provided. You’ll have to work together to ensure that everyone gets fair playing time and that equipment is shared as needed.

Outdoor Soccer (Coming in spring 2025!)

Ages 13 and over, are invited to enjoy a friendly game of soccer outdoors! We’ll build the teams-just bring your A-game and get ready for fast-action fun. It’s a great way to get your heart pumping and stay in shape while having a blast! This program is weather dependent.

Underwater Rugby
Underwater rugby is a team sport played in a swimming pool where players aim to score goals by placing a negatively buoyant ball into the opposing team's basket at the bottom of the pool. It combines elements of rugby, swimming, and water polo, and is played in three dimensions, with players needing to hold their breath and utilize strong swimming skills.
Volleyball

Bring your friends and enjoy playing volleyball. You'll work together to ensure that everyone gets fair playing time.
