The Bobcats Stay Active program, presented by Blue Cross Blue Shield, aims to engage 350 youth in physical fitness and nutrition based programming over a six week time period. Each week, elementary through high school aged kids from the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Charlotte will participate in two Stay Active sessions. All eight Boys and Girls Club of Greater Charlotte will participate. The sessions will take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5 – 6pm (with some exceptions). Session activities and topics are determined by the Bobcats, Boys and Girls Club, and BCBS. Stay Active sessions are led by B&G Club staff, with support from Bobcats and BCBS staff.

Bobcats players, coaches, trainers, Lady Cats, Rufus and staff will participate in Stay Active sessions. Stay Active and Bobcats merchandise will be used as incentives throughout the program. In order to successfully complete the program, participants must attend 75% of the sessions and complete their pre/post fitness tests. At the end of the program, all kids who complete the Stay Active program will be invited to a Bobcats game for a special experience.
