Builds / strengthens muscles and improves cardio respiratory health.  Additionally, EDU-FITT teaches children about the function of muscles and other vital organs.

The EDU-FITT program encourages students to express themselves in writing, builds their self-esteem and teaches them the importance of living a healthier life. EDU-FITT encourages children to incorporate more activity in their lives and change behaviors that are detrimental to their health. "Children are more receptive and open to learning when they're having fun and excited about learning", says Coach Smith. All of the Edu-Fitt games contain an academic component that correlates with national teaching standards. EDU-FITT takes traditional teaching out of the classroom and on to the field where students are engaged in exciting games that fosters a positive learning environment and promotes physical and mental growth.
