The Boys & Girls Clubs of Wayne County are proud participants of Triple Play which is a dynamic wellness plan for the Mind, Body and Soul that demonstrates how eating right, keeping fit and forming positive relationships create a healthy lifestyle for Club members. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has taken a strong interest in this programming approach because it is in line with its Steps to a Healthier US initiative. Through the comprehensive Triple Play program strategy, Club professionals help boys and girls better understand nutrition, from counting calories to determining reasonable portion sizes. Members receive coaching in sports leagues and fun activities that develop their coordination and leadership skills. Organized social recreation activities strengthen character, increase confidence and enhance the ability to relate well to others.

The program’s components are: SMART Kids, for ages 6-9; Start SMART, for ages 10-12; Stay SMART, for ages 13-15; and SMART Parents. SMART Leaders, a peer leader/booster program for older teens, and F.A.N. Club (Family Advocacy Network)
SMART GIRLS - SMART Girls is a small-group health, fitness, prevention/education and self-esteem enhancement program designed to meet the developmental needs of girls ages 8-12 and 13-17.
