Triple
Play is the largest wellness endeavor ever undertaken
by Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA) and the
first youth-focused program of its kind developed in
collaboration with the U.S. Department of Health & Human
Services. The program’s curriculum was developed
by an advisory council formed by BGCA and included
experts from diverse fields such as nutrition, physical
fitness and medicine. Triple Play takes a holistic
approach to positively influence a child’s wellbeing
with three areas of focus:
- Mind - Developing a knowledge
base to acquire healthy habits, such as making smart
food choices, understanding appropriate portion sizes
and creating fun and balanced meals
- Body – Becoming more physically
active through fun daily fitness, including activities
to get kids active and moving.
- Soul – Strengthening character
and reinforcing positive behavior with social recreation.
This program is supported through grants awarded by The
Coca-Cola Company and Kraft Foods Inc.
