Ramstein Youth Programs celebrated the Worldwide Day of Play through a variety of events Sept. 25 and 26.
In order to kick off the Worldwide Day of Play, after-school clubs conducted various Triple Play Daily Challenges and organized a mass Fit Factor enrollment for all youth and teens located in the youth and teen centers.
Fit Factor, an online Air Force initiative, is designed to encourage youth and teens to eat a healthy diet as well as “get up, get out and get fit.”
Furthermore, Ramstein Youth Programs partnered with Ramstein Intermediate and Middle schools as a means to implement a variety of sports tournaments for all the students during the lunch recreation program as well as during the school’s physical education classes.
Not only were youth and teens able to enjoy physical activity throughout the day, they also had a chance to view youth and teen athletes participating in the Youth Sports Program. These young athletes modeled healthy and active lifestyles for the entire Ramstein community through participating in organized sports like soccer, football and cheerleading.
The sports events were concluded with a carnival at the Vogelweh Community Center. Youth, teens and families were able to partake in an array of carnival games, a bouncy castle, Fit Factor enrollment, a magic show and a variety of other activities.
The main goal of these events was to recognize those youth and teens who lead healthy lives as well as to encourage others to follow suit and make the necessary positive and healthy changes in their lives.
