ESPN Play Your Way
ESPN Play Your Way is a youth fitness program designed to encourage kids, ages 7-12, to get fit and remain physically active. To do what they do best: be creative and have fun. We want kids to take charge of their own health and fitness. It’s an outreach program that inspires them to be physically active by making up their own physically active games and writing their own rules.

VERB
Parents, partners, and professionals who serve tweens can take advantage of VERB’s reach to tweens and the excitement the campaign is generating among this age group to get moving! This Web site includes resources and information to make regular physical activity “cool” for tweens and a fun thing to do. There are also VERB materials for organizations that do not directly provide programs to tweens but can promote the importance of regular physical activity for tweens, such as through communications, advocacy, policy change, and training of program providers.
