A few of the faces of the WHY I PLAY project from day 2 and day 3 in front of the tiger wall. These are the faces of the future, of our town, of our student athletes, artist, dancers, and actors. I have loved meeting everyone who has come in so far and sharing the excitement and momentum of this project.
There is so much more to athletics than meets the eye and studies show a child’s involvement in sport helps them to improve their social interactions, increase their confidence, and improve their listening skills and health. Participation in sport is linked to higher grades, lower dropout rate, reduced truancy and lower crime rates overall. And the kids have their own reasons to play and we are here for them all!
There is still time to join us! THIS IS WHY WE PLAY.
