Helping Children and Youth Get Active
Using soccer as the medium, the Ottawa Fury are aiding Health Canada's goal of increasing the amount of physical activity of inactive children and youth by 30 minutes more per day. Using fun, skill-based games, Fury coaches or players will come to your school to conduct one hour clinics in gymnasiums or on the school's playing field. The clinic will consist of a ten minute talk on the benefits of physical activity, a forty minute activity session and a ten minute Question and Answer session with Fury personnel.
