Removing The Barriers for Health and Wellness

More about Removing The Barriers for Health and Wellness

We have been increasing our health initiatives which continue to include raising awareness as it regards healthy living, decreasing the juvenile diabetes and obesity rates and remaining a champion and advocate as it regards hunger and the need for physical activity. We use sports as the “hook” to reach our targeted youth and community. We encourage mandatory participation in community service activities in order to participate in our tournaments and leagues. This focus is important because our community is plagued with poor health with can be attributed to poor food choices, lack of medical care and follow up. We believe our youth to be a vital instrument in fighting and promoting health and wellness in our community. As such, youth sports has been the means to bring focus on these issues.
