Biggest Risk -Keeping Kids Indoors

The ParticipAction Report Card on Physical Activity for Children and Youth has just been released and indicated that only 9% of children and youth ages 6-17 years old get the required 60 minutes of physical exercise a day.  The report card of D- indicates we have a lot of work to do. With about 98% of our kids returning each year to our program and many new ones joining we have an amazing opportunity to make a difference in our community and improve on the D- score.  The big opportunity for us is that all kids receive a shoe tag and access to our courts at all times. It really can be the hub of the community, where all kids can hang out and play with others, hit a ton of balls, laugh but most important get the required exercise they need without even knowing it. Our facility is a safe, and a wonderful nice environment to be. So this year during our Serving Up Success Team Tennis Program we will encourage all kids to fill up the courts by practicing with their teams and making it a real community hub for all kids. #headingtothecourts
