Children of all ages and their parents are invited to attend the free Family Fun Sports Expo on Nov. 11 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at The Skatium, 2250 Broadway St., Fort
Myers.
The purpose of the Family Fun Sports Expo is to let kids try different sports, make new friends and learn new skills. Physical activity helps promote health and wellness and also helps build self-esteem, making the second Healthy Sports Expo of 2023 a must do for kids and parents.
There will be opportunities to practice boxing, soccer, ice skating, hockey and martial arts.
There will also be prize drawings, delicious and nutritious healthy food demonstrations, a bounce house, sports injury awareness information, pediatric education and heart health screenings at no charge.
Playing sports is not only fun for kids. It also helps develop and improve cognitive skills, focus, critical thinking and provides experience working as a team.
“We are excited to join Healthy Lee in providing such a fun event to the community for the second time this year,” said Stephanie Wardein, Lee Health’s system director of community affairs and Healthy Lee Lifestyle Coalition Co-Chair. “It’s so vital for children of all ages to find a sport or hobby they love doing. This early love can last a lifetime and benefit children well into adulthood. The Family Fun Sports Expo will include more than a dozen community partner agencies and organizations dedicated to improving the health and wellbeing of our community.”
This is a free event. Participants can pre-register for the event although registration is not required here.
Come try new activities or enjoy those you already love. Experience new healthy and delicious foods.
Join us on Nov. 11 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at The Skatium, 2250 Broadway St., Fort Myers. Learn more about Healthy Lee by visiting www.HealthyLee.com.
