COACHES CORNER
EXCITING NEWS FOR FAMILIES WHO UTILIZE DSP’S DIRECT SUPPORT PROFESSIONALS!
Rally Recreation is an indoor play space with several ping pong tables, air hockey, foosball, pool, shuffleboard, and darts. They encourage groups of all kinds – work teams, families, friends – to come in and enjoy playing together.
The cherry on top of this new recreation opportunity is that DSPs are welcomed with FREE entry when they accompany a paying individual and show proof of employment (like a name tag).
