Childhood Obesity Initiative

Power Up for Sports and Health Toolkit
Go Team Go!

We are pleased to introduce the Power Up for Sports and Health (PUSH) toolkit for youth athletic leagues. Our goal is to give coaches, parents and league representatives ideas, tools and support to make healthy nutrition a part of the athletic experience for physically active children and families. Being active and participating in sports is important for a healthy lifestyle. All children, whether or not they are overweight, need the opportunity to develop lifelong healthy physical activity and eating habits. These lifestyles will reduce their odds of developing many diseases and conditions, including obesity, in the future.

Topics covered in this toolkit include:

  • League policies
  • Messages given by team coaches
  • Foods brought to sporting activities by parents
  • Fundraising opportunities and concession choices

To access the toolkit, simply complete the form below.

(Note: Please save your email confirmation once you finish completing the below as it will contain instructions on how to access the toolkit. If encounter any problems with obtaining access or need your password resent, please feel free to email us.)


 

Promoting a healthy sports experience for our youth may be easier than we think. The PUSH team of health experts created this toolkit to provide a consistent healthy nutrition environment that supports our children’s athletic experience. Together we can make sure that all our teams are winners!

Sincerely,
Push team logos
