Why Join PLAY 60 Champions?
Since 2014, NFL FLAG-In-School has reached 17 million students. PLAY 60 Champions allows districts to scale that impact:
• District-Level Grants: Access funding to sustain active, healthy school environments
• Systemic Support: Practical guidance and resources to embed physical activity into daily school routines
• Capacity Building: Peer learning, coaching, and professional development
• Proven Inclusion: Flag football offers an inclusive, engaging way to get students moving

New tools, trainings, grants, and more will support the five building blocks of a Comprehensive School Physical Activity Program: Physical Education (PE), Physical Activity During School, Staff Involvement, Physical Activity Before/After School, and Family & Community Engagement. All focused on creating healthier, more active school environments—so every student can get 60 minutes of play every day.

Now is the time to get in the game!

Ready to get started? Join the District Impact Network, a central hub for the tools, training, and grants needed to support these five building blocks.
