Highly energetic and physically engaging, the Get Fit program emphasizes cooperative activities to stimulate learning
The Get Fit program is ideal for Elementary Schools. It’s designed to teach youth leadership and teamwork through a physically engaging obstacle course.
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Highly energetic and physically engaging, the Get Fit program emphasizes cooperative activities to stimulate learning. Athlete mentors and youth leaders teach children the fun of physical activity and the importance of healthy living, while emphasizing the importance of working together and supporting one another.
It is the opportunity to teach children the value of inclusivity (making friends with others), resiliency and overcoming obstacles, team building, and how to use your voice.
In the spirit of paying it forward, this program is led by high-school youth who have completed the S.W.O.L.E. Program. It gives them the opportunity to apply their newly gained leadership skills and serve a community service at their local elementary school with Athlete mentors and One Voice One Team staff .
