Newfit Kids Sports Program: Providing Access to Recreational Activities for Baltimore's Youth
Newfit Kids Sports Program is a non-profit organization that offers year-round recess and competitive athletics to elementary and middle school students in Baltimore, Maryland who typically lack access to recreational activities of any kind. The program was founded with the goal of providing children with a safe and supportive environment where they can learn new skills, build confidence, and develop healthy habits that will last a lifetime.
At Newfit, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to participate in sports and other physical activities. Unfortunately, many children in Baltimore face significant barriers when it comes to accessing these opportunities. Some families simply cannot afford the cost of equipment or registration fees for organized sports leagues. Others may live in neighborhoods where there are few safe places to play outside or limited transportation options.
That's where Newfit comes in. Our program is designed specifically for children who might not otherwise have access to organized sports or other recreational activities. We offer a wide range of programs throughout the year, including basketball, soccer, flag football, volleyball, track & field, and more.
One of the unique aspects of our program is our focus on recess as an important part of every child's day. We believe that regular physical activity during school hours can help improve academic performance by reducing stress levels and increasing focus and concentration. That's why we work closely with local schools to provide structured recess periods led by trained coaches who encourage kids to get moving and have fun.
In addition to our recess programs, we also offer after-school sports leagues for elementary and middle school students throughout Baltimore City. These leagues provide kids with an opportunity to compete against their peers while learning valuable teamwork skills and building self-confidence.
At Newfit Kids Sports Program, we are committed not only to providing access but also ensuring quality programming through certified coaches who undergo background checks before being hired by us; this ensures safety standards are met. We also provide scholarships to families who cannot afford the cost of participation, so that every child has the opportunity to benefit from our programs.
Our program has been incredibly successful in helping children throughout Baltimore City develop healthy habits and build confidence through sports and other physical activities. We have seen firsthand how our programs can make a real difference in the lives of young people, and we are committed to continuing this important work for years to come.
