Research has shown that ping pong is beneficial for people with neurological conditions, helping to improve coordination, focus, and motor skills. Our new adaptive ping pong class will enhance balance and hand-eye coordination and build strength and stability in a supportive environment.
To ensure safety, all interested participants must have a consultation with our adaptive fitness trainer, Frank, after enrolling; email him at [email protected]. If accommodations are needed, please discuss this with Frank during your initial consultation.
