Sports, Fitness, and Recreation

We develop fitness, positive use of leisure time, skills for stress management, appreciation for the environment, and social skills.

Programs:

• Triple Play: A Game Plan for Mind, Body, and Soul - a dynamic wellness program currently being offered in Boys & Girls Clubs that demonstrates how eating right, keeping fit and forming positive relationships add up to a healthy lifestyle. The goal of the Triple Play program is to improve Club members’ knowledge of healthy habits; increase the number of hours per day they participate in physical activities; and strengthen their ability to interact positively with others and engage in positive relationships.

• The Major League S.T.A.R Award – The MLB® S.T.A.R. Award program recognizes members ages 10 to 18 for demonstrating Sportsmanship, Team spirit, Achievement and Responsibility in sports, fitness and social recreation programming.

• Rookie League Baseball – Rookie League, which is a bridge between t-ball and fast pitch baseball, is an organized league designed to teach youth ages 9 to 12 the fundamentals of baseball. One of the unique features of this program is that participants hit live pitches from a pitching machine that always throws strikes. The primary goals of Rookie League are to increase the number and quality of grassroots level baseball programs, increase participation, and provide a fun environment for beginning players. Program benefits include building confidence of members and attracting new members to the Club.

• NFL Youth Football Fund – The National Football League Youth Football Fund provides grants for local Boys & Girls Clubs to start, expand or enhance tackle or flag football programs. The program also consists of a Youth Football Summit and recognition program for coaches and players. 

• Jr. NBA/ Jr. WNBA - This national youth basketball initiative, launched by the NBA and the WNBA, connects players, parents and coaches. The program, which is supported by an all-star Advisory Council as well as Boys & Girls Clubs of America and other national youth organizations, provides unique information within its training guide curriculum. Subjects include advice for coaches from the first practice to the final game, ideas on creating a positive and fun environment for youth and tips for players ranging from skills to sportsmanship.
