Young Athletes Model

Health and fitness are important parts of daily life. Young Athletes, a sport and play program for children with and without disabilities, helps children of all abilities enjoy physical activity, develop healthy habits, build important skills and reach their full potential. Use the Young Athletes in Schools Guide in your classroom to support preschool to grade 5 learning outcomes and cognitive and physical development. 

Young Athletes can be run in many safe settings. These include a gym during physical education time or in the classroom/outdoors during a time dedicated to motor development or play.
