Sports 4 Kids: The Power of Play

Sports4Kids has established safe, healthy playtime at more than 75 schools through the San Francisco Bay area so that every kid has the chance to play. The result: kids are healthier physically, emotionally and cognitively. They are more connected to their school and gain constructive problem-solving skills that play out in the classroom--and in their lives.
