McIntyre to Announce “F.A.N.S. for Youth Sports"
July 27, 2011
Dear Friends,
 |
All across our country, youth sports are shaping both the physical and character development of our children. We must do our part to strengthen youth sports and ensure that our nation’s youth have every opportunity to learn the valuable lessons that youth sports offer.
Today, I introduced the Youth Sports Legislative Agenda, entitled “F.A.N.S. for Youth Sports” which will strengthen four main pillars of youth involvement in sports: fitness, access, nutrition and safety.
The agenda is a compilation of legislation that augments the mission of the Congressional Caucus on Youth Sports which I founded in 2006. Each of these legislative measures included in the Agenda supports one of the four F.A.N.S. pillars. Together, these proposals will provide suitable spaces, requisite resources, invaluable instruction, and paramount protection to create an environment friendly to youth sports activities.
Studies show there are many advantages to sports participation -- reduced childhood obesity rates, better grades, improved attention at school, lowered health care costs, etc. Adolescents involved in sports also learn valuable lessons in character development such as teamwork, sportsmanship, and leadership.
This agenda represents a renewed commitment to our youth and their futures.
Sincerely,
U.S. Congressman Mike McIntyre
Representing the 7th District of North Carolina
