Society has changed such that the
sandlots and playgrounds are gone. For many reasons including
the changing social patterns of family, the growth of suburban
sprawl and the advent of the video game era - we have a challenge
to get this generation of youth the physical activity they
need on a daily basis. Childhood obesity has doubled in the
last 25 years and according to some Public Health officials,
it is reaching epidemic proportions.
At the same time physical activity/education
is being marginalized in our schools. Suwanee Sports Academy's
After School Athletics program exposes kids to a variety of
sports and activities that we hope benefits kids in a number
of ways, and we hope more programs and more parents will get
involved.
Why are more programs like this needed?
Sedentary Society and Poor Fitness
Physical Literacy - A Long Term Approach
Active Kids = Active Adults
Too much Early Sport Specialization
Better Performance On and Off the Court
