It has been found that low income youth are three times less likely to participate in athletics. Envision children with the inability to play with friends and relish in a game of basketball or soccer. All children should be entitled to enjoy their youth and connect with other kids in their community. Sports are one of the most connective activities for children, a way to meet new people and create new friendships.
Additionally, playing sports is not only a way to have fun and make new friends it is a method of exercise. Specifically, sports are a form of aerobic exercise, meaning the body is constantly active and mobile. In a study performed by the University of British Columbia regular aerobic exercise increases the size of the memory and learning center of the brain. In result, exercise stimulates the flow of endorphins through the body, engendering a more happy mood and causing the brain to learn better.
At Hustle2Heart, we believe that all children should have the opportunity to play sports. To that end, we hold sports camps for underprivileged children in different locations. Below are some pictures from some of our camps.
