Guidelines for Physical Activity for Children (by NASPE)

• Children should accumulate at least 60 minutes, and up to several hours, of age-appropriate physical activity on all, or most days of the week. This daily accumulation should include moderate and vigorous physical activity with the majority of the time being spent in activity that is intermittent in nature.
  
• Children should participate in several bouts of physical activity lasting 15 minutes or more each day.
  
• Children should participate each day in a variety of age-appropriate physical activities designed to achieve optimal health, wellness, fitness, and performance benefits.
  
• Extended periods (periods of two hours or more) of inactivity are discouraged for children, especially during the daytime hours.

We support these guidelines by providing a place where a child can participate safely in physical activity. For more information on current programs please contact us.
