Run For Life Misson:
Santa Barbara County’s Run-For-Life program is a non-profit organization focused on getting Santa Barbara County Kids introduced to running as a gateway to better health and an activity that they can do for life. |
 |
We are focused on providing teachers with low/no cost extra-curricular tools to promote fitness of local school age children. We want to be an additional resource for your efforts and rely on teachers as our gateway to enabling children to participate in our programs.
How can you become involved? By identifying students that would benefit from additional low/no cost participation in walking/jogging and running.
Here are some of the types of kids participating in Run-For-Life programs for Santa Barbara County youth:
-Kids that have not had much athletic experience and need a program to get them started on a lifetime activity to improve athletic achievement and physical development.
-Kids that want to cross-train for other athletic events.
-Kids that want to have fun and meet other kids in a positive environment.
-Kids that want to develop physically in a city-endorsed, low cost program.
-Kids that want to develop their running skills through volunteer coaches with significant running experience.
We meet each week on Sunday’s at 10 AM for introductory runs throughout the year. Each walk/run is lead by a coach who is tasked with making the Sunday runs fun, inclusive and motivational. From there, we begin to encourage the kids to participate in local running 1 mile running events (we have negotiated no-cost participation in most of the local events) and we will provide them with ribbons, medals and certificates of accomplishment.
Through teachers such as yourself, we also provide a ‘training and community service’ log that when completed, provides additional rewards and motivation.
We hope that you will promote our efforts and please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or would like one of our executive committee to follow up with you.
We appreciate all that you do for the kids of Santa Barbara County and hope that our local Run For Life program provides you with a low cost resource to getting and keeping our youth involved in athletics for life.
THANK YOU! |
