Summary
This study tests a 12-week sports program called Girls PLAY designed to help rural girls aged 8-10 become more physically active. The program includes in-person sessions and take-home activities led by Boys & Girls Club staff. Researchers want to see if the program is feasible and acceptable, and whether it increases physical activity levels.
