Above: Working out at Southborough Recreation’s Boot Camp (contributed photo)
I’ve run several posts lately about youth sports and recreation starting up this fall. You may be feeling a bit envious. No need. There are plenty of sports and fitness offerings through Southborough Recreation for adults.
These are just the sessions that begin this month. (Many begin this weekend.)
For more information, or to register, go to the Southborough Recreation website.
Men’s Basketball

- $40 (no pro-rating)
- Sundays 6:00 – 7:45 pm
- Wednesdays 7:00 – 9:15 pm
- Newcomers are always welcome. Attendance need not be regular. We call our own fouls and shoot foul shots. We keep score in order to know when to stop for water. No basketball held if the schools are closed, or if the gyms are needed for school or town activities (such as voting).
Drop In Co-Ed Volleyball
- September 18 to February 26 (except for holidays, early release days and school events.)

- This non-competitive, fun atmosphere is for all volleyball enthusiasts. This is an informal volleyball program where different teams are formed each night. Please bring water and wear comfortable sneakers!

- The Bootcamp workout includes light running, interval training, a variety of cardio drills, and several circuit based workouts. We use kettle bells, battle ropes, trx, jump ropes, free weights, medicine balls and many other pieces of equipment during the one hour workout. Each workout includes a warm up, a core strengthening session and a cool down with stretch. For both men and women.

Beginners and Advanced Beginners will practice basic strokes and footwork patterns, and will learn the rudiments of the game. Intermediates will also work on strokes, and will participate in more playing drills designed to practice positioning, tactics, shot selection, game situations and more!
