What is CHAMPS?

 

The CHAMPS Sports and Fitness Program (CHAMPS) gives our third, fourth, and fifth grade students the opportunity to participate in fun, safe, and supervised physical activities. CHAMPS is open to students of all abilities. The name CHAMPS stands for Cooperative, Healthy, Active, Motivated and Positive Students.

 

What are the benefits of CHAMPS?

  • Stay active
  • Stay connected to their school community
  • Learn new physical and fitness activities that they can continue beyond their school years
  • Learn how to work as a team and collaborate with others

 

 

Data shows that students who are physically active and fit do better in school. Physical activity is important for fitness and strength, healthy weight, and lifelong health. Children should get at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity each day, according to national guidelines.
