Did you know?

  • Children today have a shorter life expectancy than their parents for the first time in 100 years because of the epidemic of obesity
  • The National Association of Sports & Physical Education says that toddlers and preschoolers should have daily structured physical activity – not just free play
  • A staggering 85% of five-year-olds cannot pass a basic physical fitness test (Senate Committee on Children)
  • Research proves that children do not “just develop” fundamental motor skills with age. Children need instruction, encouragement and practice to develop these basic, essential skills
  • Many habits are formed by the time a child starts school – instilling good fitness and nutritional habits at a young age significantly decreases the chances of obesity-related illness later in life
