About us

(PLEASE POST AN IDENTIFIABLE PHOTO OF YOURSELF)
After successfully launching "NYC Active Asians Americans" group 3 weeks ago, I felt compelling to create a similar, but broadly based group. Hence, this group gets founded.
This group is aimed to provide a flatform to create active sport events for active fit young singles, mostly FREE or at a bargain group rate price. This group is for young single professionals to enjoy active, and adventurous activties in group setting and make friends in the process. The group has age range from 20s to 30s to keep this group active and strong. Exceptions will be given to those who can demonstrate some extraordinary athletic abilities.
The main activies include:
adventures, outdoor and sport activities, skiing, snowboarding, ice-skating, alpine skiing, downhill skiing, figure skating, ice dancing, roller-blading/skating, badminton, table tennis (ping pong), archery, tennis, volleyball, swimming, biking, hiking, zip-Line, adventure courses, paintball, kayaking, bowling, fitness, gym, golf, fencing, whitewater rafting, camping, rock-climbing, sports and recreation, and more ...
Some more adventurous events to try:
sky-diving, scuba-diving, wave surfing, wind surfing, paragliding, parasailing, horse-back riding & etc. (will update this) ...
We will try to complement these events with breakfasts/lunches/dinners when possible. Hey, we all need energy to be active, right?
Occasionally, we can join some laid back events like museums, movies, concerts, clubings, karaoke, and travels etc so we can enjoy other aspects of life too.
So, all active singles, let's keep an active and healthy life style. Join this group and let's create fun active sporting events, and enjoy the life to its fullness together!!!
P.S. If you have ideas, discount info or tips, please post your ideas and vote for others' ideas.
