AARON HALL
Aaron Hall has a degree in Health and Human Performance. He says he “stumbled upon No Bounds by chance, but it could have been fate.” Aaron’s own brother Matthew was previously involved in a basketball program for the Special Olympics community, when he met Dr Bhandari. He claims the rest was history. Aaron’s role is keeping the students active and finding ways to engage them in physical activity; he has been a coach for the Virginia Soccer Team for the Special Olympics USA Games, as well as a coach for No Bounds’ bocce team. He focuses on the travel aspect of the programs, as he believes it is crucial for the students to go to events, make new connections, and develop social skills. He invites people to come watch our students play and guarantees that, to anyone seeing them for the first time, people “will understand the importance of our mission.”
