Interests + Goals Fitness To provide an opportunity for young

athletes to achieve their maximum potential both athletically and socially.

Social Athletic Development

Concerns for Society Whats your current level of daily physical

activity?

How is it effecting your personal health? What example are you setting?

“Of men over the age of 25, 18% watch, on average, between 16 and 20 hours of television a week, compared to 8% of women.

Of those who watch 20 hours or more of television a week, 33% said they did not engage in physical activity as they do not have the time!”*
