Did you know that if a girl participates in sports by the time she is 10, there's a 90% chance she'll still be active at 25? You're helping us keep kids active by supporting Triple Play - Boys & Girls Clubs of America's National after-school program. Triple Play teaches kids about nutrition, exercise and teamwork to help them make positive food choices, enjoy sustained physical activity and develop a sense of self-reliance.
Recently, Youth Development Strategies, Inc. (YDSI) conducted a study of 2,242 Boys & Girls Clubs members, ages 9-14, to assess the program's impact. Here's what they discovered:
Girls taking part in Triple Play became significantly more active with nearly two hours more activity weekly than girls not participating in the program.Triple Play participants increased to 90% of the recommended amount of daily activity (60 minutes each day) while kids outside the program decreased to 78%.
Since 2005, over 1 million children have had the opportunity to benefit from Triple Play.
