We have now had 3 successful workouts in Paradise on Sat’s at 0900 at Steele Street Park. Please continue to come out and support our diversity and community efforts. Thanks to our Q’s and supporting PAX!

As this AO grows, Q’s please be aware that regular workout standards may need to be modified. We are targeting both adult men, and males in the 12-18 range, and the workout will need to accommodate all attendees. However, we are also not turning anyone away under that age. Maintain a weinke that can be modified based on those in attendance.

Flyers are distributed and list the F3 main workout at 0900, followed by pickup basketball, games, etc, at 1000. Q’s are not required to stay after 1000 but are reminded that we are also trying to build community relations. It is possible that additional attendees may arrive after the main workout. With additional PAX in attendance, support to the Q should available at both times.

PAX are encouraged to attend before 0900 to engage and recruit. Sometimes a simple mosey around the neighborhood results in on-the-spot EH’s and attendance.

An AO Paradise-specific bag has been put together that has basketballs, gloves (until distributed), cones and other items that may be helpful. As of this writing, there was also a second bag that had extra basketballs to be distributed to attendees until gone. Please pass the bag(s) on to the next Q, or Bolt or Deacon, during the week.

Also, consider the following when Q’ing:

1. Paradise is your community, too. Don’t let the evil one convince you of anything contrary to that fact.
2. Adding basketball to the workouts brings more inclusion of the community by meeting people where they are. Men like to hoop in Paradise.
3. The sun is up at 9 AM. Exercise the areas under the trees for shade to prevent overheating.
4. Not all Pax have babysitting available Saturday mornings. Keep the workouts in the park so 2.0s can use the playground as their Daddies sweat it out.
5. Discuss the 3rd F theme of the month with the Pax. The young Pax really appreciate and absorb that positive message.
6. Not all Pax will have gloves and water bottles. If possible, bring them for the Pax.

Bottom line: The opportunity to engage, enrich and impact our community is now. Get involved. Steele Street Park is at 600 Steele Street, Fort Mill, SC 29715
