​The kids weren't the only ones who had fun this summer- we did too! Through our free camps, these kids were able to stay active, try something new, and have fun. We can't wait to be back again next year!

​Their mission, much like our own at the InSports Foundation, is to help athletes reach optimal performance, mental health, and enjoyment in their sport and life endeavors.

​During the summer, the kids were able to learn about different topics like Setting Goals, Confidence and Resilience, all while playing fun and stimulating games and activities. The partnership was a huge success, and we thank Premier for helping the kids of the Twin Cities get in the game!

The sunny day was filled with fun and smiling faces. The kids even got to go home with snack packs courtesy of MATTER. We love partnering with the Minneapolis school district and helping more kids in the game. We hope to be back again next year! 

​Stephen’s favorite (as well as the kids’) was the Touchdown Celebration drill, where kids were able to catch a pass and then have a dance party in the endzone with Stephen. Displaying high energy, not being afraid to try new things and having fun were common themes throughout the day.
Next, the kids took a break and were led through a goal-setting and healthy-eating session by the InSports staff and Weatherly, where they shared their personal goals for leading a healthier life.

​On August 1st, we kicked off our InSports Days with the Hopkins School District at Tanglen Elementary School and the following week, our InSports crew went out to Gatewood Elementary!  Although Hopkins was our smallest group with about 70 kids attending both sessions, we got them excited and active with four different activities!

The kids got the opportunity to play lacrosse, soccer and a PE game called Lord of the Rings ran by Active Solutions. They also got to attend a healthy eating session put on by Twin Cities Orthopedics and Training HAUS. As the day wrapped up, all kiddos were able to take home a TCO stress football as well as a healthy snack pack from Matter. 

We are so thankful to be able to give kids the opportunity to play sports and learn the importance of living a healthy lifestyle. A big THANK YOU to our partnerships and Hopkins School District for being important parts of making a difference in these kids lives!

Throughout the month of July, we partnered with the Osseo School District to host 3 InSports Days for their elementary school-aged students. The Osseo School District runs a summer program called "Camp ROCKS" and we were thrilled to be able to be part of it for a second year. 

This summer we are partnering with Chaska/Chanhassen, Osseo/Maple Grove, Hopkins, and Bloomington school districts to put on a total of 14 Summer InSports Days. Our InSports Days are designed to help expose students to new sports and get them IN the game.

​Throughout the day, we provide these students with skills clinics, healthy eating and goal setting sessions with the help of Active Solutions, TCO, and MATTER. Following the camp, students are given the opportunity to apply for scholarships to continue their passion for sports.

Last week, we kicked off our first Summer InSports Day of our 6-week program at Clover Ridge Elementary in Chaska, MN. Eaton's team came out to volunteer with us and give over 300 kids, ranging from first grade to fifth grade, the chance to experience a fun day of soccer. We are excited for more activities with them in the weeks to come and can't wait for the other school districts to join in on the fun!
