Rising Rates of Mental Health Issues

Wellness programs tailored to the needs of young people are essential in addressing the rising rates of anxiety, depression, self-harm, and suicide.
Improved Academic Performance
Regular exercise significantly boosts students' cognitive function and concentration. Studies show that children who engage in regular physical activity perform better academically.
Positive School Environment

Safer schools
The children are learning concepts such as Sportsmanship, Inclusivity, Community, Mindfulness, Self Awareness and Compassion. This increases their Social Emotional Learning and safety in the schools and decreases bullying.
