So, we have a lot of different groups that exercise within the Recreation Center, but I have not mentioned my favorite one: SOAR. Unfortunately, I do not remember what SOAR stands for, but it is a group for autistic adults to exercise. The gentleman who runs the program is amazing! He is always there at least an hour before the rest of the group to set up and to make sure everything is in place. There are two main programs that they do: volleyball and Zumba. For volleyball, we set up a tennis net and chairs on either side of the net. The participants play with a big, blown up beach ball and hit it back and forth like volleyball. For Zumba, one of the members comes, plays music and just dances with the members. While this is not a recreation group, I thought I would devote a post to them. It is just really nice to see all of the participants having a lot of fun in the facility every week.
