Triple Play
Adolescence can be awkward. As kids evolve from child to pre-teen to teenager, they are sometimes confused and even overwhelmed by the rapid maturation of their own bodies. Their peers and the media may contribute to the confusion, making it even more difficult for them to sort good information from bad. If they do not have accurate information about nutrition, exercise, and sexual maturation, kids may make poor choices that can affect the rest of their lives.
The BGCP Triple Play Iniative provides the information and tools that help kids make better choices. We offer nutrition and fitness programs that address the critical issues of growing and maintaining a healthy body.
BGCP also offers a program called Smart Moves that offers forum for our students to discuss sensitive and personal issues about their maturing bodies and minds. Providing accurate information in a safe environment allows our members to form their own informed convictions.They are then better able to stand up to peer pressure and marketing messages and make intelligent decisions and choices about their bodies.
