Raiders/UNLV Sports and Health Program (RUSH)
Housed in the UNLV School of Public Health, the Raiders/UNLV Sports and Health Program (RUSH) will provide opportunities for middle school youths to acquire the skills and knowledge needed to participate in high school sports. The overarching goals of the RUSH program are to increase:
- The amount of physical activity of all participants.
- Girls’ intention to play sports in high school.
- The consumption of healthy food options among all youths.
- The intention to seek help for mental health issues among participants.
The program is a three-day clinic, thoughtfully designed to teach the skills and knowledge necessary to successfully play flag football in high school. Girls and boys from three, 100% free or reduced lunch, majority-minority middle schools in CCSD will be recruited to participate.
