BOKS is a before school physical activity program offered at no cost to participating families that focuses on engaging elementary and middle school students in physical activity, skill development and brief nutrition education sessions that prepare them for a day of learning. The BOKS curriculum includes 12 weeks of instruction and 40 minutes of structured kid-friendly activities that include warm-ups, skill of the week, running, relay and obstacle course activities and nutritional tips. The BOKS team provides training for BOKS leaders free of charge each month. BOKS is currently being used in more than 1,800 schools in the US and Canada.
