November 1, 1983 <br />ADLILT ACTIVITIES <br />Basketball <br />This league takes in teams whose members live or work in New <br />Brighton, Mounds View and St. Anthony. Since there is a <br />Limit on facilities available, there is a limit on the number <br />of participants so I do not see too much ...change in the numbers. <br />We have also combined efforts with Mounds View - they offer <br />the 3 man basketball and we run the 5 man basketball. <br />Softball <br />To help try-and serve some more softball enthusiasts, we .added <br />a Friday night double header league. That, combined wi h an in- <br />crease in the number of teams interested in the women's league, <br />produced an increase .this year for participants in softball. <br />There would possibly be more, if we had the. facilities. <br />Fall Softball <br />There was an amazing increase in interest for a continuation <br />of softball after the regular season. We offered only one <br />night originally and ended up with a total of three nights, <br />.each with six different teams. <br />Volleyball <br />This has been a pretty steady number because the number of <br />teams in each league offered has pretty much remained con- <br />sistent over the years. -This year we offered volleyball <br />clinics so that increased the number of participants over <br />last year. In addition, for the last two years, summer <br />volleyball has been offered. <br />Exercise Programs <br />In 1981 there was a dramatic increase because we offered more. <br />choices in the dance/exercise classes. Aerobic Dancing and Jazz <br />Exercise type classes were real popular nation wide. Last year. <br />the newness of exercise programs diminished as evident with a <br />decrease in participants. In 1983 there is again an increase <br />because we added a class which the instructor had a following <br />of regular. students. Otherwise, exercise classes in the. pool <br />and other classes have remained fairly stable. We have also <br />noted that within a year the winter and spring exercise classes <br />are .better attended than the summer and fall offerings. <br />Days Away Trips <br />Trips are done 3-4 times a year and planned jointly with St. <br />Anthony Community Services. We try to keep cost of each trip <br />around $20. At this time the number of trips seems to accomo~ <br />date the resident's needs. In 1982 we had to cancel one trip <br />and in 1983 we added an extra trip (5 trips) which caused the <br />increase in numbers of participants in 1983. <br />
