Sports & Fitness The gym is a lively program area in Chop’s Teen Club. The level of competition and popularity of sports changes with the members that participate in gym activities. A popular sport in the gym, is basketball and is usually what the members play when there is not a scheduled activity. We have pick-up games and casual shooting games. Basketball tournaments are the 4 th Saturday of every month and are played at a higher level of intensity than typical pick-up games. When the Rockwall is open, the half of the gym that the Rockwall is on is closed for other sports but the other half of the gym is open for basketball. We like to introduce new games and activities to engage all interests. We have indoor soccer, volleyball, whiffle ball, bowling, human hungry, hungry hippos, indoor hockey and more! Member’s choice is at 2pm every day of the summer and can either be whichever sport the majority members in the gym want to play or open gym where you can get any ball out that you would like to play with. *Scheduled gym activities are subject to change based on member interest
Activity Name: Member's Choice Members run the gym Monday through Friday, from 2-3pm! We bust out all the sporting gear that Chop's has to offer for one hour of fun.
