General information.

RSC Westchester offers day sessions in Ball Sports, Movement, Basketball, and “Boot Camps” for groups of 10-25 individuals from September to May. The average cost per class (per person) is less than $10ph, at or below the cost to see a movie or go bowling! This winter RSC Westchester is adding classes in voice, dance theatre, music, make up and speech. 
​
 All classes are run by qualified Instructors who have experience working with this community. The role of the agency staff role is to support and assist the consumers during the class and actively participate when appropriate. Our Instructors lead the class making sure the class is inclusive and safe for all participants.   

Agency programs run on weekdays between 10:30am and 2:00pm. Residential programs run on afternoons, evenings, and weekends.

Preparation.

  1. Program Services agreement signed. 
  2. Deposit for Session complete. 
  3. Curriculum finalized. 
  4. Insurance waiver signed and delivered---for RSC and for the facility where activities will take place. 
  5. Active wear clothing, In warm weather light loose comfortable clothing. Yoga is best done in barefoot. 

Notes.

  1.  ​All activities have functional fitness components where staff encouragement and assistance is important. 
  2. The fitness evaluation is a circuit of 5 exercises, covering aerobic capacity, core fitness, balance, hand eye coordination, and mobility, done for one minute each. Groups rotate and the activities are finished in approximately 30 minutes. Results are tabulated and given to agencies. We will provide analysis of change over time if requested.  
  3. ParQ form—We request this is filled out for each consumer, but it is not compulsory. However we do require a summary of any special needs or conditions that we need to factor into our classes, from both a health and physical limitation perspective.  ​

Attendance. 

  1. Upbeat attitude.  We have a participation rate of over 90% because we create a warm inviting environment where Agency Staff actively promote the idea of fun and fitness, and its benefits. 
  2. For team activities we use pinnies and though they are available, we recommend purchasing your own for health reasons. (Three colors, 10 of each is sufficient). 
  3. Water. Please bring water to EVERY class regardless of outside temperature. For many consumers this is the most physically active they will be at any time during the week, and hydration is vitally important as they reach or stretch beyond their comfort level. ​
