Organized youth team sports provide young people with the opportunity to develop necessary life skills at a young age. Skills, such as teamwork and leadership, are essential building blocks that kids can learn in a fun and safe environment. The Boys & Girls Club of Laredo offers city-wide sports leagues in basketball, flag football, volleyball, and track & field to make for fun, competitive extracurricular activities. Our sports leagues serve children ages 5-12.
Intramural Sports

Triple Play
To teach youth how to make healthier choices, Boys & Girls Clubs of Laredo has teamed up with The Coca-Cola Company and Kraft Foods, Inc. to present Triple Play: A Game Plan for Mind, Body, and Soul. This national program takes a holistic approach to educating boys and girls about good nutrition, making physical fitness a daily practice and developing individual strengths and good character. In addition to components from the mind and body, the Triple Play program gets at the soul of the Club experience — the gameroom. Each Mind, Body, and Soul program component can stand alone; yet integrating them allows Club members to reap more powerful, lifelong benefits.

Empowering youth to eat right is a generation-changing, life-enhancing program goal, and Triple Play’s nutrition component, called Healthy Habits, covers the power of choice, calories, vitamins and minerals, Choose My Plate, and appropriate portion size.
