Triple Play, sponsored by The Coca-Cola Company, is a dynamic wellness program designed for ages 6-15 that demonstrates how eating right, keeping fit and forming positive relationships add up to a healthy lifestyle. The goal of the Triple Play program is to improve Club members’ knowledge of healthy habits; increase the number of hours per day they participate in physical activities; and strengthen their ability to interact positively with others and engage in positive relationships.

Triple Play Parents Game Plan
We all have a role in making sure our young people adopt lifelong, healthy lifestyles that include vigorous physical activity and a balanced diet. Because parents play such a critical role in the development of a child’s physical and social well-being, we wanted to give them a tool that could be used at home – where healthy habits start, are modeled and reinforced.

The Triple Play Parents Game Plan offers a holistic approach with three key areas of focus:

MIND: This approach incorporates healthy living and active learning in every part of the Boys & Girls Club experience, from the gym to the learning center to the arts and crafts room. The central themes of good nutrition, regular health care and improving overall well-being are emphasized. A curriculum called “Healthy Habits” guides this portion of Triple Play and was developed in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
 
BODY: This component boosts Club members’ physical activities to a higher level by providing sports and fitness activities for all youth – boys and girls, those athletically gifted and those talented in other areas. Daily fitness challenges, also developed in collaboration with Health & Human Services, give youth at every age the chance to play longer and harder at a variety games.
 
SOUL: By participating in this comprehensive social recreation program, Club youth will be able to develop and sustain positive relationships with others, acquire a healthy self-concept and a strong belief in their own self-worth and cope well with positive and adverse situations.
