At Home Family Health & Fitness Tips

For school-age children, the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention recommends at least 60 minutes of vigorous physical activity. During this time we are spending more time at home and less time playing sports and games. Here you can find sport-specific drills, youth-focused workouts, and additional activities to keep you and your family fit and healthy.

Powered by the experience and values of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, TrueSport provides educational resources focused on Sportsmanship, Character Building & Life Skills, and Clean & Healthy Performance that support the whole child and help teach the life lessons that can be learned through sport.
