Health & Wellness
Triple Play
Triple Play is a fitness program that seeks to engage kids' Mind, Body, and Soul. This is a national program through Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA).
At our Club, Triple Play involves a variety of learning opportunities and seeks to keep kids engaged in physical activity for 50 minutes at a time during the school year, and 60 minutes per session during the summer.
During these activities, kids are taught sportsmanship, leadership, and teamwork.
Healthy Habits
Healthy Habits is the "Mind" component of Triple Play, where eating smart and maintaining physical fitness are emphasized to improve the wellbeing of Club members. Our Healthy Habits lessons are designed to:
-
Teach young people about the benefits of healthy habits such as eating right and being physically active
-
Equip young people with skills to adopt healthier habits by participating in fun and engaging learning activities both at the Club and home
-
Encourage young people to try foods they may not otherwise be exposed to
