Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Girls PLAY program

Girls PLAY program (8-12 weeks) will include 1) a series of in-person sessions, led by Boys and Girls Clubs staff at the Boys and Girls Club sites, and 2) take-home activities. In-person sessions (60-75 min; 2-3x/week) will center around a different developmentally appropriate sport each week. Lesson plans will outline games/activities in which youth engage in fundamental, sport-specific movement skills. Lesson plans will be delivered by Boys and Girls Club leaders using acts of instruction derived from Self-Determination Theory. Take home activities will 1) summarize and add on to the week's in-person sessions and 2) be adapted for delivery by parents and/or self-guided participation by youth. Take-home activities will provide information for engaging in the past week's activities as well as additional activities that parents and youth can participate in together.
