• Our most notable highlights since implementing the Triple Play program have been,

• Increasing member’s daily physical activity.

• All members are participating in at least 60 minutes of physical activity every day at the Club.

• Overall increase of knowledge of Healthy Habits.

• Our members are learning and understanding why making healthy decisions and implementing physical

activity is important.

• Increased intake of fruits and vegetables.

• Thanks to the grant money we have be able to supplement our Food Bank snack and lunch program

with fresh fruits and veggies. Showing members that healthy food options can be delicious too!

Healthy Snacks

Instead of the usual pretzels and crackers our members enjoy having fresh watermelon for

snack.

Nice and cool floor hockey

Here in Arizona we don’t let the heat stop us from having fun and

getting exercise. With temperatures reaching over 1000 and not

having an indoor gym we transformed our Games Room into an

open space to allow room for sports and other physical activities.

INITIAL BOLD STEPS TAKEN

1. Reduce unhealthy eating at the Club:

Removed all vending machines

Banned fast food/sodas/candy

Eliminated member ins & outs

Creating a Culture of Wellness



2. Increase access to healthy foods at the Club:

Applied to be a sponsor for FREE MEALS DAILY funded

through SFSP & After School Snack federal programs

o Breakfast, Lunch & Snack = FREE DAILY

Weekly Food Bank- Staff work hard to choose fresh fruits

and vegetables for weekly free food distribution to Club

families and the community



Healthy Free Meals Replace Fast Food

Through the federally funded SFSP we are able to provide healthy

meals for breakfast and lunch for free and at no cost to the Club.

TAKING IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL:1. Staff Modeling-

Staff agreed to take on the goal of only (1) eating

healthy foods while Club members are present & (2)

initiating conversations with youth about the nutritious

content of foods they are eating

Food served at staff meetings models healthy choices

Serving more water & trying fruit infused water to

encourage members and staff to drink more H2O

Cooking classes= healthy foods ONLY

Policy of using wheat not white bread



Healthy Cooking Classes

Club members participate in vegetable stir-fry cooking activity.

TAKING IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL:

there isn’t a winner) are needed to build self esteem
