The PlayFit Enrichment Program is a weekly add‑on designed to complement existing after‑school programs, offering a fun and engaging way for 3rd‑5th grade girls to stay active and build confidence. The program focuses on a single sport, allowing participants to deepen their skills, and is available in a 6‑week or 8‑week format.
