This year, Playworks Pacific Northwest partnered with the Seattle Mariners to expand the reach and impact of safe, healthy play for students across Seattle.

In collaboration with the Mariners Trainer Center (MTC), the Mariners Care Foundation, and the Seattle Mariners, we designed a Recess Takeover that:

  • Activated Mariners players to inspire students, promote sportsmanship, and spotlight the importance of play and belonging
  • Equipped MTC coaches with Playgroups group management skills, building their capacity to lead meaningful play with young athletes year-round
  • Deepened relationships within Seattle Public Schools by bringing programming, connection, and community-building to recess
