Physical Activity Participation

Using the FUTP 60  Flag Football Kit, students were able to get in some more practice time to reach their physical activity goal. Sixty minutes a day of physical activity is our motto. With the Flag Football kit, students who participate in the after-school sports program were able to play during school time as a brain break. Students would come out of class and play Flag Football for about 15 minutes. A great way to have fun and be active for 60 minutes!

What improvements have you seen at your school?

Students are eager and excited to play. They look forward to coming to school because they know they get to play during the last 15 to 20 minutes of school. This helps improve attendance and academics. Students must do their best in the classroom in order to be allowed to come out and play. The day they get to play is random; therefore, they don't know which day of the week they will be able to come out and play. And we get the kids moving. Everyone wins!
