Explore Physical Fitness for Youth
Physical activity is critical for healthy lifestyles and the development of the mind, body, and spirit. Our parent company, PlayCore, has launched an exciting program that takes PE to the playground, giving children a new way to engage in physical fitness.
Active Children are Active Adults
Research indicates that children who engage in regular, healthy physical activity are more likely to continue an active lifestyle as adults. As a result, it is critical for professionals to advocate for play initiatives and effectively communicate how investing in play results in healthy community outcomes.

Our parent company, PlayCore, in collaboration with SHAPE America, created Play On!®, the guidebook to promoting fun physical fitness through the use of well-designed play environments and creative playground learning activities.
