BACKGROUND:
The Sports for Life Program, funded by the Florida Tobacco Pilot Program's Comprehensive Youth
Sports Program, promotes tobacco-free lifestyles among Florida's youth by encouraging
participation in sports and physical fitness activities. The Sports for Life Program represents a
partnership between the Florida Sports Foundation, Florida's 13 Regional Sports Commissions,
community-based youth sports organizations and leading health advocacy organizations including
the American Heart Association, American Cancer Society and American Lung Association.
The Awards Program is the focal point of the Sports for Life Program initiative and is designed to
provide funds to Florida's numerous sports and youth organizations to host tobacco-free sports
events and programs for youth aged 9-17.
AGENDA ITEM
LieD
3-\l-93
DATE
The main goal of the Awards Program is to utilize sports to empower the maximum number of youth
to make positive choices about tobacco usage. Each Sports for Life participant will be asked to sign
a tobacco-free pledge card that will be collected and used as one of the program's main measurement
tools.
The Statewide Sports For Life Partnership is responsible for the overall management of the Awards
Program. However, Florida's Regional Sports Commission will assist in coordinating the Sports
for Life Program in their community.
ANALYSIS:
It is the Parks & Recreation Department's intention to submit applications, in amounts not to exceed
$10,000 per application, to develop community-based sports programs, incorporating and promoting
the Sports For Life message. Examples of sports programs to be developed may include, but not be
limited to, swimming, roller hockey & in-line skating, fishing, baseball, soccer, ice skating and golf
All programs will be developed with the purpose of promoting sports as a healthy lifestyle, an
alternative to juvenile delinquency and teaching skills that will better serve the participant
throughout their entire life.
CONCLUSION:
Adopt the Resolution.
