This summer we had our first in-person golf programing session since 2019. The program ran for 8 weeks this summer starting June 1st and ending on July 29th at the Golf Center at Balloon Fiesta Park. This summer we had a total of 21 youth in our program with ages ranging from 6-18. With the help of NB3FIT staff a new fitness rotation was added this summer which the youth really enjoyed. We added in this new fitness rotation to educate our youth on the importance of taking care of their bodies so that can help prevent injuries and also introduce different avenues for physical activity. While learning the fundamentals of the game of golf the youth in our program also received lessons in the four core areas of our programs: physical activity, healthy nutrition, youth development and cultural connections. The youth in the program persevered through the heat all summer to improve their golf game while also improving their knowledge of how to live healthier lives. To top off our summer two of our youth participated in the 2nd Annual Native Youth Golf Championship Santa Ana Golf Club, Santa Ana Pueblo.
We will be hosting a fall session of NB3FIT Jr. Golf program at Sandia Golf Club. Open to youth 7-18. If you have a child interested in joining visit our NB3FIT page to register.
