Teenagers and young people gather and exercise actively in the gym all year round. Community members of all ages line up at the tennis and pool tables. Competitions in these sports are held every year to mark the Lithuanian State Restoration Day and Lithuanian Independence Day.
Men and women spend their leisure time in the professionally equipped shooting range. In cooperation with the A. Juozapavičius Rifle Squad of the Lithuanian Riflemen's Union of Alytus County, district shooting competitions are organised annually.
Basketball and volleyball training becomes popular during the warm season. Basketball 3x3 and volleyball 4x4 tournaments are organised annually to win the Santaika parish cup. Teams from the Alytus district, the city and the surrounding districts compete.
Middle-aged women like and actively attend exercise classes organised by the Alytus District Public Health Bureau.
Members of the club are also fond of cycling. During the summer season, various cycling trips are organised.
Seniors are also active. They enjoy Nordic walking. Seniors get together once a week and walk for several kilometres. To make this activity more rewarding, sightseeing trips are organised to the Meteliai Regional Park, Birštonas, Druskininkai, etc.
