Drug Free AZ
Someone hands you some drugs. “Hey, you wanna be cool? Try this.” What should you do? Will you really be uncool
if you don’t take the drugs?
No matter what anyone tells you, drugs are NOT cool! Drugs can ruin your health,
mess up your brain, and impair your judgment so much that you may do some really
stupid things, like hurt someone or yourself. Drugs won’t make you cool. Being
good to your body and mind will make you cool. Being yourself will make you
cool.

National Athletic Trainers' Association
The mission of the National Athletic Trainers' Association is to enhance the quality of health care for athletes and those engaged in physical activity, and to advance the profession of athletic training through education and research in the prevention, evaluation, management and rehabilitation of injuries.
Kids, Sports, and Exercise
There is no question that exercise is good for growing children, and the earlier they start, the better. But is it advisable for 6-year-olds to play team football? Should you encourage an uncoordinated child to take up gymnastics? It's important to remember that it's OK if children are not interested in certain sports as long as they pursue activities that help them stay physically fit. The key is finding activities they like to do, that are fun, and that get them moving! And don't overlook the other benefits your child will be receiving from exercise - including learning to share, making friends, and developing self-esteem.
