Learn MoreOur Clubs Make a Difference in the Health and Future of Youth
At our clubs, we prioritize the well-being of youth by providing them the tools and opportunities to stay healthy and fit. Through daily fitness sessions of at least 30 minutes and the provision of nutritious snacks, we are committed to promoting a lifestyle that fosters physical activity and healthy eating habits.
Statistics speak volumes about the impact of our programs. Data shows that 66% of ninth grade boys and 47% of ninth grade girls who are regular Club attendees report exercising daily. This is significantly higher when compared to the national average of 58% of boys and 42% of girls in the same age group.
Taking a holistic approach, our ‘Triple Play’ program has demonstrated marked improvements in physical activity levels, eating habits, and interpersonal relationships among participants. Social Workers on staff provide programming on regulating emotions, support Members with individual needs and connect kids and families to community support. Health and wellness programs are designed to instill positive behaviors that pave the way for these young individuals to grow into self-sufficient and well-rounded adults.
A remarkable 80% of club alumni have expressed that their time at the club positively impacted their attitude towards fitness and health, a testament to the lasting influence of our programs. At our Clubs, we are not just shaping healthier and fitter youth. Join us in making a difference in the lives of our youth today.
