Atlanta, GA, October 22, 2021 --(PR.com)-- DeKalb County Recreation, Parks and Cultural Affairs, East Atlanta Kids Club and Duluth Adventist Christian School is partnering with Netball America to provide free Be An Inspiration GoGirlGo! Programs to their community youth aged 8 to 18. This will impact over 1,000 girls.
The US and Global Award-Winning Be An Inspiration Program is an initiative of Netball America Inc. that uses sport as a platform to empower youth for peace and strong futures, while increasing participation in sports, reducing childhood obesity, breaking down barriers to reduce discrimination and increasing social-emotional well-being. The curriculum activities were developed in partnership with TrueSport who is powered by the experience and values of USADA (the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency). The program aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals which are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure all people enjoy peace and prosperity.
“We’ve designed a fun education, nutrition and physical fitness program that takes pressure off girls having to lose weight, be athletes, be rough in sports and instead focuses them on participation in fun-filled activities on topics such as decision making, goal setting, body image, leadership etc., while forming healthy habits and learning the globally popular and inclusive sport of Netball,” says Sonya Ottaway, Co-Founder of Netball America.
