More about Passback Tour
One of the primary goals of the Passback Tour is to educate children and their families about the importance of staying physically active and eating healthy foods, and to ultimately help in the nation’s fight against childhood obesity.
The Tour:
- Provides free family-focused health screenings testing for Cholesterol, Blood Pressure, Diabetes and Dental, and refers families to community clinics and health providers if abnormal readings are found.
- Introduces children to soccer as a fun physical activity with positive health benefits, as well as other ways to make physical activity a part of daily family life.
- Provides information on the importance of proper nutrition and healthy lifestyles.
- Connects participants to ongoing soccer programs in their communities, as well as other community resources for physical activity and health.
- Provides resources to help establish new soccer and healthy lifestyle programs.
