Why this program, Why Keller?
The City of Keller has an overwhelming population of families with children. Based on the 2000City of Keller census 61% of all households had children under the age of 18.
It is important to teach the youth of Keller a variety of ways they can be active so they can start to develop life-long fitness techniques. By getting up and getting out we are teaching our children to fight the growing threat of childhood obesity.
The Statewide Obesity Task Force estimates that 35 percent of the school-age children in Texas are overweight or obese.
