What is fastnyc?
fastnyc, a 501c3, is the only organization of its kind. fastnyc offers child fitness and academic success training that begins with sports in schools. We combine pro-athlete quality sports and nutrition training with community clean-up and art projects to reach children in multiple ways, instilling a sense of pride in self, school and community. Our programs teach sportsmanship, teamwork and character. fastnyc programs are free for the school, and we tailor our programs to each school's needs and circumstances.
Why fastnyc?The alarming increase in childhood obesity and Type II Diabetes rates extend far beyond poor health into poor lifestyle choices. When children start moving, eating right, and getting involved in sports their grades improve. They are less likely to engage in violence, and teen pregnancy rates decrease too. Our participant schools report an overall improvement in student behavior and academic performance.
