Did you know that less than one-quarter (24%) of children 6 to 17 years of age participate in 60 minutes of physical activity every day? That means most children aren’t getting the exercise they need to prevent serious health issues like heart disease and Type 2 diabetes. And they’re missing out on the academic benefits too, since exercise is linked to better focus, memory, and classroom performance.  

The CDC recommends 60 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical exercise a day for school-aged children. When kids are active at school, they are healthier, happier, and more successful in school. Here are a few of the benefits of sports and physical education in schools: 

• Improved attention 
• Better mood and memory 
• Lower risk of depression 
• More time on task 
• Fewer absences 
• Better behavior 
• Better bone & heart health 
• Healthier weight

Our experienced school leaders strongly believe in these benefits and implement them throughout the school day.
