Fitness, Recreation, and Nutrition

(overlaps Healthy Habits)

Triple Play
To teach members how to make healthier choices, Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA) has teamed up with The Coca-Cola Company to present Triple Play: A Game Plan for Mind, Body, and Soul.  This national program takes a holistic approach to educating boys and girls about good nutrition, making physical fitness a daily practice, and developing individual strengths and good character.  In addition to components for the mind and body, the Triple Play program gets at the soul of the Club experience – the gamesroom.  Each Mind, Body, and Soul program component can stand alone, but integrating the three of them allows Club members to reap more powerful, lifelong benefits.  The components below show how the integration of the three benefits Club members.

1.)   Mind
Healthy Habits:  Empowering youth to eat right is a generation-changing, life-enhancing program goal, and Triple Play’s nutrition component, called Healthy Habits, covers the power of choice, calories, vitamins and minerals, the food pyramid and appropriate portion size. 

2.)   Body
Taking a systematic approach, this component boosts Clubs’ traditional physical activities to a higher level by providing sports and fitness activities for all youth – boys and girls, athletically gifted and those talented in other areas, children and teens alike.  Daily Fitness Challenges: six challenges give youth at every age the chance to play longer and harder at different games – from jumping rope to basketball and creating games of their own.  

·     Pre-/Post-Tests: Administered before and after  members participate in the program, the surveys are assessment tools.  This measurement can help to objectively document members’ health and fitness knowledge and gauge our Club’s effectiveness as when seeking donor support and funding opportunities for our athletic initiatives.

Sports Clubs: Targeted to members 13-to-18, these year-round teen clubs develop members’ leadership skills, focus on community service, and volunteerism with younger members.
Soul
This social recreation program includes running a top-notch gamesroom and social recreation program in the Club.  Learning to play new games properly from billiards, to foosball, to bumper pool, shuffleboard, and ping pong among others, members gain experience in accepting coaching, knowledge and acceptance of rules, and sportsmanship.

WANNA PLAY?TM

WANNA PLAY? Is a new program that encourages youth ages 6 to 12 to increase their overall fitness and health through physical activity and improved nutrition education, while learning the fundamental skills of baseball and softball.  WANNA PLAY? increases members’ physical fitness by focusing on agility, balance, and coordination.  This program features a variety of fun and engaging activities and games to help Club members improve their fitness; increase awareness of good hydration; and learn basic baseball and softball skills.

Health and Life Skills

Programs in this area develop young people’s capacity to engage in positive behaviors that nurture their own well-being, set personal goals and live successfully as self-sufficient adults.
Triple Play's Healthy Habits
Designed to incorporate healthy living and active learning in every part of the Club experience, Healthy Habits emphasizes good nutrition, regular physical activity, and improving overall well-being.  Empowering youth to eat right is a generation-changing, life-enhancing program goal, and Triple Play’s nutrition component, called Healthy Habits, covers the power of choice, calories, vitamins, and minerals.  The food pyramid and appropriate portion sizes are emphasized and combined with food preparation challenges.

Passport to Manhood
Passport to Manhood promotes and teaches responsibility in Club boys ages 11-14.  Passport to Manhood consists of 14 sessions, each of which concentrates on a specific aspect of manhood through highly interactive activities.  Each Club participant receives his own “passport” to underscore the notion that he is on a personal journey of maturation and growth.  Passport to Manhood represents a targeted effort to engage young boys in discussions activities that reinforce positive behavior.

SMART Girls
SMART Girls is a small-group health, fitness, prevention/education, and self-esteem enhancement program designed to meet the developmental needs of girls ages 8-12 and 13-17.  Through dynamic sessions, highly participatory activities, field trips and mentoring opportunities with adult women, Club girls explore their own and societal attitudes and values as they build skills for eating right, staying physically fit, getting good health care and developing positive relationships with peers and adults.

Date SMART
Date SMART is a supplement to SMART Girls and Passport to Manhood, and an exciting new resource for Club members ages 13 to 18.  Through fun and easy-to-use sessions, members learn how to achieve mutually supportive relationships free of violence and abuse. The program also encourages youth to become community advocates for relationships that promote equality and respect while combating the attitudes and behaviors that lead to dating, sexual, and domestic violence.

Education and Career Development

The Education and Career Development programs are designed to enable youth to become proficient in basic educational disciplines, set goals, explore careers, prepare for employment, and embrace information technology to achieve success in a career.  Money Matters, which promotes financial responsibility and independence among Club members by building their basic money management skills; Career Launch, a program used to assess their skills and interests, explore careers, make sound educational decisions and prepare to join our nation’s ever-changing work force; and Goals for Graduation, a program that introduces academic goal setting by linking their future aspirations with concrete actions today.
(Ages 6 - 15)  Goals for Graduation, a Project Learn resource, introduces academic goal setting to Club members ages 6-15 by linking their future aspirations with concrete actions today.  In goal-setting sessions with the Club youth development professionals, members set achievable “Know-I-Can” Goals, more challenging “Think-I-Can” Goals, and yearly “Believe-I-Can” goals. Members create an action plan with daily and weekly goals leading to short- and long-term gains.  A comprehensive guidance strategy helps members connect their smallest results to their highest dreams.  An encouraging recognition strategy buoys members as their successes are recognized and supported at every step of their journey.
 Money Matters: Make It Count (Ages 13 – 18) promotes financial responsibility and independence among Club members by building their basic money management skills.  Participants learn how to manage a checking account, budget, save, and invest.  They also learn about starting small businesses and paying for college.  Money Matters features the Teen Personal Finance Guide an attractive booklet containing practical tips and activities to help teens learn the important skills of balancing a checkbook, creating a budget and saving and investing for college and retirement.  The Money Matters Web site, offers teens an engaging online tool for building their money management knowledge and skills through interactive activities, games and tools like a savings and financial aid calculator to plan for college.
Power Hour (All ages) Power Hour: Making Minutes Count helps Club members be more successful in school by providing homework help and tutoring and encouraging members to become self-directed learners.  The program includes a guidebook for homework helpers and introduces the Club mentoring program with charts for rewarding participants' progress.  The program strategy is based on Dr. Reginald Clark's research showing that students do much better in school when they spend their non-school hours engaged in fun, but academically beneficial, activities.

Skill Tech (Ages 6 – 18)
Skill Tech I is a basic computer skills program that develops Club members' proficiency with word processing, spreadsheet and other productivity software through fun, hands-on, engaging lessons and projects for four age groups.  Skill Tech II teaches advanced yet practical technology skills to Club members ages 10 to 18.  Using animated, interactive tutorials on courseware developed exclusively for Boys & Girls Clubs, the program introduces members to hardware and networking skills and technology-related career opportunities.

CareerLaunch - Job Readiness Program (Ages 13 – 18)
This program is for youth ages 13-18 and helps prepare participants for the challenges associated with work by providing basic work maturity skills.  This fun and exciting program prepares teens for the working world.  Club teens 13-18 years old embark on a journey to explore careers, make sound educational decisions and find success in the world of work.  The program, sponsored by Gap Foundation, contains 22 competency based, small-group activities that are organized into four units.  CareerLaunch is designed to be easy to deliver, flexible enough to accommodate different club situations, and highly engaging.  A pre- and post-assessment tool is included to determine individual participants' achievement of the learning objectives and to document results of the program.
