Staying healthy and active is an important part of any lifestyle, but it can be so hard to do when life gets busy. For working parents, just trying to stay on top of your responsibilities and family’s schedule can be overwhelming. If you are fortunate enough to live near a great Boys & Girls Club of America, they offer the Triple Play program to keep kids healthy by focusing on the three pillars of wellness—mind, body and soul.
In our last home, we were lucky enough to live near an amazing Boys & Girls Clubs of America. I had several friends who relied on them to keep their kids safe after school and I was always so impressed by how many opportunities they offered the kids.
I just learned about their Triple Play program, a program that is designed to support a child’s health and wellness by focusing on the three pillars of wellness— mind, body, and soul.
I’m a firm believer that all three are connected and I’ve seen those benefits in my own life. I love that the Boys & Girls Clubs of America looks at the whole child. That’s the same approach I’ve taken with my own children and one that I hope will help them grow into healthy adults.
What is the Triple Play Program?
The Boys & Girls Clubs provide safe, fun and affordable places for kids to go when they aren’t in school. While there, they can participate in enriching programs and activities and work with caring professionals. Every year they serve over 4 million kids and teens and make a huge impact on the communities they are located in.
In partnership with the Anthem Foundation and The Coca-Cola Company, the Triple Play Program takes things a step further by focusing on the three components of health and wellness – mind, body and soul.
It is so important that kids learn balance. Focusing on developing all three areas can make a huge difference in their self-confidence and help them to become the adults we all want them to become.
The Boys & Girls club does that by making sure kids have access to the tools they need to succeed.
As the weather cools down, it’s so important that kids still have ways to stay healthy and active. The Boys & Girls Club gives them a relaxing atmosphere to do that and empowers them to develop healthy habits that can last a lifetime.
The Triple Play program was first launched in 2005, and since then, over a million club members have participate. They’ve seen great results with the program and it is an amazing opportunity if you have it available in your local area.
