Our high-energy, trained rock stars make the most of every minute to build a healthy school community through play.<\/p>\n<p>Play provides an unparalleled opportunity to foster the physical, social and emotional development of our kids. Since 1996, the Playworks Coach program has worked on-site with schools, engineering a powerful system of play that is making a daily difference where it is most needed. With energy and imagination, high fives and hula hoops, Playworks builds play and physical activity into a positive school environment, offering opportunities throughout the entire day.<\/p>\n<section id=\"flex-layout-1\" class=\"flex-layout flex-layout--header\">\n<div class=\"flex-layout__wrap--outer\">\n<div class=\"flex-layout__wrap wrap\">\n<div class=\"main-container__wrap entry__main-content\">\n<div class=\"main-container__content\">\n<div class=\"entry__content clearfix\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr class=\"hr--plain\" \/>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h1 class=\"u-gradient\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Service Options<\/h1>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1069 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.playworks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/playworks-204-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"flex-layout-2\" class=\"flex-layout flex-layout--columns flex-layout--padding-top-normal flex-layout--padding-bottom-normal flex-layout--max-width-xlarge flex-layout--background-color flex-layout--columns--mobile-single\">\n<div class=\"flex-layout__wrap--outer\">\n<div class=\"flex-layout__wrap wrap\">\n<div class=\"columns__set\">\n<div class=\"column column--9 column--padding-top-large column--padding-right-medium column--padding-bottom-medium column--padding-left-medium column--theme-white column--shadow\">\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Playworks Coach<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Beginning before the first bell rings and continuing until well after the last has silenced, our full-time coaches help your school incorporate play and student leadership opportunities throughout the day.<\/p>\n<div class=\"biglist\">\n<div class=\"biglist__index\">1<\/div>\n<div class=\"biglist__content\">\n<h3>Recess Time<\/h3>\n<p>Armed with balls, cones, jump ropes, and enthusiasm, Playworks coaches take to the blacktop or hardwood during recess, taking advantage of the amazing teaching and learning opportunities inherent in recess and bringing healthy, inclusive play that moves kids off the sidelines and engages them in the action.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"biglist\">\n<div class=\"biglist__index\">2<\/div>\n<div class=\"biglist__content\">\n<h3>Junior Coach Leadership<\/h3>\n<p>We build play into leadership through the Playworks Junior Coach program, which encourages teams of students to work together to learn games, fair play and positive conflict resolution and to teach these skills and lessons appropriately to their classmates.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"biglist\">\n<div class=\"biglist__index\">3<\/div>\n<div class=\"biglist__content\">\n<h3>Class Game Time<\/h3>\n<p>Between recess bells, Playworks coaches establish a weekly schedule of class game time activities, providing an inclusive, consciously cooperative approach to introducing sports and physical activity to children.
