YMCA AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM - Making Healthy Choices

Contact Us and ask how your organization can schedule a similar event.


On November 13, 2008 Karate America was invited to be part of the Sun Prairie YMCA after school program.  Specifically Kids Taking A Stand: Obesity Challenge, a new program focusing on enjoyable physical activities and nutrition. We had the opportunity to meet with some outstanding youth who have made a commitment to a healthier lifestyle. 


The program is at the Sun Prairie Youth Center at 160 South Street and they meet every Thursday afternoon from 4:00-5:30 p.m.  We worked with jump ropes, medicine balls, and participants used these tools to come up with their own creative physically active games. 



This program focuses on middle school aged students and their friends.  They learn about nutritious snack/food choices and in this hour and a half they are introducted to various phycial activities in which they may have had little or no previous experience.  We worked on physical stamina with jump rope games and core strength and balance with various drills with a medicine balls.  There was alot of interaction on their teams, positive encouragement and lots of smiles.

Karate America Mixed Martial Arts invites all youth interested in trying our program out as part of the KIDS TAKING A STAND: SUN PRAIRIE FIT CHALLENGE to contact us and see how you can receive up to one month of free classes.  Thank you for the opportunity to share our program.  The youth that we had the opportunity to meet are outstanding individuals and we hope to be able to come and visit your group again.
