Many under served and disadvantaged children in the Bay Area do not have the opportunity to play organized sports or know what its like to be part of a team. Only 25% of children in k-12 are not getting the amount of recommended daily physical activity they need. and many children are in schools which have totally eliminated most or all physical education programs including gym class. As a result, private after-school programs often provide the only chance some children have for regular physical activity. But access to those opportunities remains a challenge, and many programs do not have the staff or capacity to accommodate all the children who want to participate. In addition to providing the need for physical activity, research shows that youth who participate in organized out-of-school sports programs benefit from better health and well-being, confidence, academic achievement, peer relationships, and conflict resolution skills.
