Sports, Fitness and Recreation
Triple Play: Through the Triple Play experience, local Boys & Girls Clubs challenge members to become healthy and active by learning new ways to manage stress, improve their physical fitness through regular physical activity and competitive sports leagues, building both their positive social skills and character. Organized Sports Leagues: Each Club participates in a year-round inter-Club and intramural sports leagues including football (sponsored by the Denver Broncos), girls indoor soccer, outdoor soccer (sponsored by FSN Rocky Mountain), basketball, street hockey, teen girls volleyball, baseball, softball, and t-ball (all three sponsored by the Colorado Rockies.) What Moves U: The National Football League (NFL) and the American Heart Association (AHA) have partnered with a common goal of getting kids to exercise at least 60 minutes per day. This initiative incorporates several key elements: an in-school activity kit created for teachers, by teachers, which includes curriculum-based activity sheets, program–specific learning materials and school promotional materials; and an interactive fitness-focused website for children. Each of our Clubs is equipped with a full gameroom with pool tables, ping pong, foosball, and air hockey. Gameroom tournaments are run on a daily basis and members have the opportunity to compete in statewide annual gameroom tournaments. In addition, we offer cheerleading, plus a variety of low-organized sports and games, run in the Clubs' gymnasiums. Each Club hosts a variety of dances, special events, and holiday activities throughout the year, all of which are part of the social recreation department.
