About
WITS operates Coach for Kids in the recess yards of NYC public schools. Trained coaches work to encourage the least active children to engage in fun and healthy physical activities. Coach for Kids actively combats schoolyard bullying and fosters a sense of excitement and engagement among children. Children need at least 60 minutes of activity each day, a benchmark for optimal health that NYC public schools often do not meet. Coach for Kids helps students come closer to meeting this crucial benchmark. WITS coaches inspire and mentor children while teaching them basic sport-specific skills and engaging in games to use those skills.
