Healthy Lifestyles Sports, Fitness, and Play programs promote physical health by providing low-risk settings for members to explore moving their bodies and eating healthy foods. These playful experiences build movement skills, such as running and throwing, and healthy nutrition education, such as choosing healthy foods. Members develop positive attitudes toward physical activity and nutritious eating to support a lifetime of healthy decisions. This year, we also increased members’ engagement in organized sports leagues, with particular success in soccer, baseball, and girls volleyball.

Our baseball league, Junior Giants, is one of our most popular summer programs. Our baseball season kicked off with a special PLAY BALL event with the San Francisco Giants at our Willie Mays Clubhouse at Hunters Point. We were honored to be part of this kick-off event for a national, week-long celebration of the history and impact of the Negro Leagues. Youth from across our Clubhouses played baseball with Giants players and learned about the history of the Negro Leagues.
